Junior Book Pal, 2x AAA, purple
A love of books starts long before children can read - and its benefits can last a lifetime. Using the same amazing touch technology as the Tag™ Reading System, the Tag™ Junior Book Pal is designed to encourage toddlers' natural desire to explore, while introducing preschool skills through playful book-based activities.
The Tag Junior Book Pal is easy for parents and children to use. Parents can download audio for up to five books to the Book Pal, then let their toddlers explore. Each Tag Junior board book introduces a different preschool skill - such as the alphabet, counting or social play - through 24 playful activities and more than 130 audio responses. Open-ended questions and fun sound effects encourage children to take charge, as they touch any part of any page to bring words, pictures or activities to life. After their child has played, parents can connect the book pal to the online LeapFrog® Learning Path to see their child's progress and get printable activities to expand the learning!
<b>Listening and Reading Comprehension</b>
As children develop comprehension of books read aloud or independently, they explore the uses and functions of written language. They begin to construct meaning, eventually applying critical skills to make inferences and draw conclusions.
<b>Vocabulary</b>
The larger their vocabulary, the easier it is for children to comprehend what they read and hear and communicate with others.
<b>Book and Print Basics</b>
A child's early experiences with books greatly influence his ability to learn to read. Reading together helps a child learn how to turn pages one at a time and that text moves from left to right. Advanced readers learn how to use books for research.
<b>Rhyming</b>
Children learn that rhyming words have the same ending sounds and often share spelling patterns, which helps develop vocabulary.
<b>Colors</b>
Naming colors gives children words to describe themselves and the world, fostering language development.
<b>Matching</b>
Matching like objects develops logic and reasoning skills that foster early math and literacy development.
<b>Physical science</b>
Children learn about the properties of matter, forms of energy and nature of technology through observation and experimentation.
