Customized Reading Experience Supports Learning

LeapPad2's Ultra eBooks are interactive, cinematic experiences designed to guide children through books and immerse them in the joy of reading. As a child builds his or her reading skills, the levels adjust automatically and are remembered from book to book.

The innovative activities in an Ultra eBook build comprehension skills and expand vocabulary with support features that allow your child to touch a word to see its image, touch an image to see the word highlighted in text, touch words to hear them sounded out, or find definitions in the visual dictionary. Animated characters keep children engaged as they learn.

Three Levels of Learning in Each eBook

An Ultra eBook is actually three books in one, with different levels and modes optimized to support reading development. Each title features three levels of text and three modes that let children listen to the story, read along, or read and explore activities independently. The eBooks also include six comprehension activities, three games, and the ability to record your child reading the story and play back their narration.

Discover a World of Learning

With more than 325 learning games, videos, books, and apps available for the LeapPad2, it's easy to keep your child entertained on long car trips or at your favorite restaurant. The LeapPad2 has a game-cartridge slot for backwards compatibility with the entire existing Leapster Explorer Library. The curriculum covers spelling, phonics, mathematics, science, music, and geography, among other subjects.

The LeapPad2 also automatically adjusts activities, so that kids can learn at their own pace while staying engaged. They can even practice writing with the included child-sized stylus.

Track Your Child's Progress

The LeapPad2's online tool, the Learning Path, allows you to tune into your child's progress, track achievements, and share his or her photos and creations. You can choose to receive regular e-mail updates on your child's accomplishments, which provide insight into where your child may need additional support and give you new ideas for even more learning fun.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not super impressed., November 18, 2012

This review is from: LeapFrog LeapPad2 Explorer Disney Princess Bundle (Toy)
This is a nice toy, and they've made some improvements since LeapPad 1. The front and back camera option is especially nice. I was very excited to see that this bundle came with a Disney theme. But now that I've gone through setting it up and testing it out, I'm really not that impressed. With it's price tag being what it is ... in hindsight I wish I'd just bought a regular tablet for my daughter - like the Kindle fire.

First, a note ...

STICKERS: Like someone else mentioned, I also thought the stickers were missing and was disappointed. THE STICKERS ARE THERE! Just as I was taking all the packaging out to the recycling bin, I found them. MAN! They are hidden WELL, but they're there. There are two problems. First, the sticker "sheets" are probably much smaller than what you think you're looking for (they're only about 2"x3"-ish), and second ... they're HIDDEN! They're inside one of the many, many folded cardboard compartments and sealed up with tape. Honestly,... Read more

Hello!

Thanks for all the great feedback, we saw a few points of confusion that we wanted to clear up for you to help your LeapPad experience and hopefully others reading as well.

The Sneak Peeks can be taken off the device by accessing the Parent Settings, press the "Volume Up" and "Home" key at the same time and at the bottom of the menu you can toggle to take them off.

For the MP3 songs playing slow or fast, we have an FAQ from LeapFrog.com on how why this occurs here: http://bit.ly/UdcaFe
The issue with fast or slow playing MP3 songs is due to the way the MP3 file was originally encoded. If your MP3 file was encoded with a different sample rate, the playback of the song will be distorted. Several free media players such as iTunes allow a user to re-encode MP3 files to standard sample rates. Once an MP3 file has been re-encoded to a standard sample rate, it can be re-synced to the LeapPad/LeapPad2 and it will now play back correctly.

Thanks for taking the time to provide this review, we are always happy to pass feedback like this along for future consideration.

My 5 year old has the old leap pad, so naturally him & my 3 yr old daughter started fighting for it! It was the perfect birthday present! I was worried she might be too young for it but she uses it with ease. I love the front camera, it makes it so much easier for her to take photos!
