LeapPad Leap 2 Reading – Disney / Pixar Monsters Inc. Interactive Book

Product DescriptionAs children enjoy discovering that monsters are not real (at least not SCARY monsters), they’ll expand their vocabulary and improve their reading comprehension skills. This interactive book includes 18 activities, including multiple levels of play. Search and find activities provide hours of fun while helping build logic, matching and memory skills. Works with all LeapPad learning systems, except for My First LeapPad. Intended for Grades 1 to 3, ages 6 to 8. Imported.Amazon.comLeapPad system’s unique, multisensory interface already allows kids to enhance reading skills without making it seem like work. But this book has the added attraction of featuring those creepy (but, oddly, cuddly) creatures from the blockbuster movie Monsters, Inc. While top scarers Sulley and Mike figure out that kids are fun, not fearsome, children will exercise reading comprehension, retention, and concrete/deductive thinking. They’ll also enhance their vocabularies and grammar skills along the way. It’s simple to use (kids insert the cartridge and book into their LeapPads, and use the attached stylus to hear information), but this system is an innovative technology that provides entertaining, effective learning, designed by a Stanford-trained reading expert. As well, the system has been credited with the TMA’s Educational Toy of the Year and People’s Choice awards. The books are designed to correlate with national academic standards for the grade levels they target. Two notes: Make sure the LeapPad book you get is appropriate for the child’s educational level; this one should be a challenge for kids up to age 8. As well, know that some LeapBooks work on both LeapPad and LeapPad Pro, like this one, but some books only work with one system. –Diane Beall
