LeapFrog LeapReader System Learn-to-Read 10 Book Mega Pack, Pink

My first grader was having such a hard time learning to read and was behind kids her age. She loves this pen reader thing. It’s so fun to use and helps so much with the sounding out letters, site words, and reading comprehension. It comes with so many books so she has plenty of practice sounds out long and short vowels. Big plus is the volume control so she can use it in the car, with us and at bed time with different levels of volume. It’s pricey but 100% worth it.

My 6-year-old loves this LeapFrog toy! It’s engaging, colorful, and keeps them entertained while also teaching important skills like reading, math, and problem-solving. I love that it’s interactive and adjusts to their learning level, so it’s not too easy or too hard. The quality is great, and it feels very durable — perfect for an active kid. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a fun way to mix play and learning!

This LeapFrog reader pen is great for children learning to read & easy to use once you get the books downloaded on to the pen. But it was not easy to download the books to the pen. You must have a laptop or computer in order to download the books. You can’t use your phone.

Excellent and fun to aid with slow reading

Best investment ever. Love this set, nice variety of books, great price, great for a variety of ages, readable. Have to get a carrying case to carry it around but making do with just a bag. Easy to use and the almost 3 yr old loves the books and pen.

Good education wise, but the reading pen leaves indented lines when my daughter drags it under the words.

If your little one is struggling to read BUY THIS!!!! It’s an interactive story time where the words are visually on the page and being read to the child aloud. The 10 pack is awesome so they won’t get bored of the same stories and actually have some variety. It’s also fairly small (my son thought the pen part was a thermometer at first lol) so it’s definitely portable. The audio is adjustable to a pretty loud volume and it also can connect to headphones!

Just a few days into buying and my son's interest in reading heightened!! This product is very interactive, it keeps my son super engaged. He loves hearing the book being read and practicing after the pen. This makes me so happy!!

Thank you. Item as described. Was a bargain.

Over idea is good But the biggest problem volume is so low u can barely hear it . My 4 year old didn’t like it

La calidad es excelente, me gustó mucho que el lápiz tenga cargador y no sea de pila. Es perfecto para los niños que están iniciando en el mudo de la lectura en inglés.

No power

This was an awesome purchase. I would never expect a gadget like this to replace the time you need to spend with a child to help them learn to read, but I just hoped it would add to my son’s curiosity about words and be an added fun way to expose him to reading. It has surpassed my expectations. My son is 5 and recently diagnosed with ADHD and likely has autism as well. He is very smart but impatient with reading most of the time. He is in SK at a French first language school so he has only learned French letter sounds and the beginnings of reading French in school. His only exposure to English letter sounds and reading English words has been at home. I have been going through these books with him, mostly letting him touch the words one by one with the pen to hear them, after first touching the symbol that reads both of the pages fluently. This way it ensures that he is looking at each word as he hears it being voiced. When he is in a more patient mood, I will ask him to read the page on his own after touching each word and hearing them. He is doing it mostly from memory that way, but it’s still good practise. I showed the pen’s functions to my mom too, who was a grade 2 teacher for many years and then a JK/SK teacher for many years (now retired). She was also impressed, although we both agreed that when the symbol is touched to read both pages at once, they are read much too quickly. It is too fast for me to be able to point to each word as they are read. I love that it also has the options to switch the function of the pen so that it sounds out the words with the sound of each letter (except for words like “the” which are highlighted and just voiced as “the”), or says the letter names of each letter. I think learning the sounds that letters make is more important than learning the letter names (or how to spell a word by saying the letter names), but it’s still nice to expose them to a variety of ways to look at words/spelling/reading. The pen also works if you point to various parts of the pictures in the books, making sound effects or saying things that each character might be saying in the picture. There are also other functions on the pen like songs and audiobooks which my son has flipped through but we haven’t explored yet. So far my son has been able to listen to me when I tell him he is allowed to point it at the pictures or explore the other functions only after we read the words of the book, so they haven’t been too much of a distraction and act as a bit of a reward or a break after reading each page. Overall I am very impressed and I have no doubt this (along with the many other approaches we’re taking) will help my son learn to read.
