LeapFrog TAG Reading System, Purple Reviews
| 1,125 of 1,137 people found the following review helpful  Great product but a lot more parent involvement., = Durability:  = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: LeapFrog TAG Reading System, Green (Toy) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) Short version:The good: The pen is amazing, a real marvel of teaching technology. The kids like it. The bad: It's the most techno-savvy leapfrog product yet. The pen needs to be connected to the computer a lot as your child learns. Not only do you have to "download" the books onto the pen, but there is a feedback loop where the child earns rewards. Most of the "rewards" require printer paper and ink. I wish you could turn off the pen's requests to be plugged back into the computer, but you can't. Should you buy it: If you are used to performing regular "maintenance" with your ipod, and you don't mind that, then definitely buy it. If you don't like maintainin computers (firmware upgrades, syncing, troubleshooting, etc) then consider very carefully before buying. Don't get this as a gift for a person who either doesn't have a computer, or has a relic of a computer that they never use. Long version: I have owned a lot...

I acquired the LeapFrog TAG reading system for my 7 year-old granddaughter in an effort to help improve her lagging reading skills. I gave the Leapfrog TAG device to her father (my son)for a test drive. He has used the Leapster 2 gaming system with his little girl for several years, so positive brand awareness influenced his interest in the LeapFrog TAG system. I asked him for some comments about the device. Here is what he said:"On the parental side, software installation was quite simple. The device was in use less than ten minutes after opening the box. Managing the LeapFrog TAG's media library at the desktop is also quite easy. The UI can be personalized to and utilized by the child with minimal instruction. While my overall opinion of the system is positive, I found the materials included with the device to be decidedly minimalist. Unlike the Leapster 2, no protective case was included. Considering the TAG's size, this increases the likelihood of...

THE QUICK TAKE: The Leapfrog Tag Reader is a terrific toy, one that every parent with children from ages 3 or 4 to 6 or so should consider purchasing. Just plan on spending another $30-60 a year on books, so that you'll have age-appropriate books as your child grows. Also, to download the audio for a book, you need a computer with an internet connection.FULL REVIEW: There are several ways to use the Tag Reader with the Tag books. In a storybook, the Reader will read the text for a page if the child taps a symbol. Or, a child can tap individual words to have them read aloud, or tap one of many characters or images on a page to get dialogue or a sound effect - so each page has more to explore. Some pages have letter or number activities. And some pages have games. The content on some pages is a little thin, but overall the entire system - the Reader and the books - is thoughtfully designed and works well. I'm always a little skeptical about the claims...
