This is a really important literacy skill, and it’s great for the children to have a chance to practise in a fun way. This level is quite easy for Mr Z to read now so he can do it confidently, and Mr T and Mr R get quite excited with their favourite characters like Lightening McQueen!Īs well as reading the story, these books also include reading comprehension quizzes which is brilliant to keep the children engaged for longer and to make sure that they have processed and understood what they are reading. The boys actually quite liked the variety within this but did have a few clear favourites within the book, one being the Cars Early Reader book. They are all fully functional pages so it gives you an idea of what level each book is at and the kind of activities included. The sampler book gives you an idea of all the different books available as it has a sample from a different book on each page. The LeapReader comes with an activity sampler book and one sheet of Learning Paper for writing. The LeapReader is recommended from 4-9 and there is also a junior version for age 1-3 years which works on board books. I initially thought it would be more for Z (age 5) but they all really like it and depending what books you buy it can be well suited for a wide age range. It’s great for very early readers as they will need more support and can get it easily through the LeapReader which should help to feel less frustrated with their reading.Īll of the children have been using this.

The LeapReader interacts with the books when your child places the tip of the pen down onto certain parts of the page, this allows the child to get a hint or prompt on words they are finding difficult as they can touch those words and hear them read. The LeapReader is an electronic reading and writing system in the form of pen which is compatible with a wide selection of books. The LeapFrog LeapReader is one that I was really interested in trying out with the boys.
