Was well worth the hassle and the wait as I now have a worth while reading tool to help my 6 year old who struggles with reading and writing and finds it's very hard to engage in anything remotely educational.

Each book seamlessly blends fun with the reading, math, problem-sovling and creativity skills that are important to a child’s development for a comprehensive introduction to key concepts. One side has a political map and the other side has a colorful map full of pictures of children from different countries and animals and lakes and mountains.A stylus touches the book to actuate the Tag device, and the device, through analysis of the printed pattern, divines both the book being read and its exact position within the book.

Each interactive learning system includes a stylus that reads invisible dots on compatible books and activity sets, triggering questions, challenges, songs, jokes and more.

It says 4-8 years but it should be fun for your children however old they are and they learn so much! He had a really good go at writing on the paper and loved that he could do it and copy the examples.

It was exhilarating watching him master the concept within a month and start thinking he could teach me what to do. I think if this product stays in one piece it will last my son through his early learning reading years.Update: At 6 years old he can actually read all his Leapreader books but still enjoys using them with the pen when he wakes up very early to keep himself entertained in the early hours.
