VTech V.Reader Review & Giveaway

My daughter just finished Preschool and is headed into Pre-K next year.  She amazes me everyday with what she learns and knows.  She is only 3, but is a year ahead as far as schooling is concerned so far.  She is recognizing her letters and what letter begins with certain words.   VTech V.Reader (the Kindle for kids) will definitely help my daughter as she begins to read.

Reese wanted to skip lunch just so she could play with the VTech V.Reader.  I let her just this once as long as she ate after her first test of the product.  She played a mole game where she had to pick out the letters as the moles jumped out of the holes.  The letters spelled a word then.  We put hers on “Easy” and she did so well, the game advanced her to “Medium.”  It is cute to see her play with it as she is learning.

The VTech V.Reader is great to increase vocabulary as well as use skills that will be good for her later in life with computers.  (I still haven’t let her use ours yet.)   The VTech V.Reader is for ages 3-7.  It is such a great product and I highly recommend!  Here is a little more about VTech V.Reader:

Animated Storyteller:
Stories come to life through vivid animation, narration, character voices, graphics, sounds and music. Young children engage with stories by watching, reading and learning. They follow their favorite character’s voice, play reading games and use the story dictionary.

Downloadable Fun:
With a rich download library, more than 100 additional stories will be available via a download library located on the VTech Web site (www.vtechkids.com), including some free titles, more themes and avatars to customize their e-readers. V.Reader is compatible with a PC or Mac computer.

Track Progress:
Parents can join in on the fun and learning process with the features that include progress reports and reading certificates.
Lovable Characters:
Children’s favorite licensed characters come to life and help them learn with 11 software options (with more titles to be added in the near future).

Touch and Read System:
Kids have two play options – listen and follow along to the story as read by animated characters; or touch the screen and play reading games to learn each word or sentence.

Reading Skills:
Your child learns the necessary building blocks to grow into a fluent reader. V.Reader teaches reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonics and word building, along with a story dictionary that describes word definitions in a manner that’s easy for them to comprehend.

VTech plans on launching a library with more than 100 additional stories located on the VTech Web site www.vtechkids.com available for immediate download!   There will even be some free titles, more themes and avatars to customize your e-readers.  How cool is that?  I can’t wait to check all this out when it’s available!
 
V.Reader is available at Target as of June 20 and nationwide in August at all key retailers and online at www.vtechkids.com for around $59.99.
