Vtech is dedicated to providing children with educational tools to help them learn, but have fun at the same time. I used this product with a young child that I know.
I had the opportunity to review the new VTech V Reader that has just been released. It is available nationwide in August, but right now it is only available at Target.
The V.Reader is the world’s first animated e-reader system designed specifically for kids aged 3 – 7 years old. The cutting-edge product features:
Animated Storyteller
Stories come to life through animated books on a 4.3″ color touch screen. Children will enjoy narration, character voices, vivid graphics, sounds and music.
Touch and Read System
Two options of play: Kids can follow along with the story or touch the screen to hear words and play interactive reading games.
Teaches Core Reading Skills
V.Reader helps teach reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, word building and more!
Story Dictionary
Enhance vocabulary skills with kid-friendly word definitions.
Downloadable Content
V.reader features a USB port and is expandable with SD memory cards (not included). Download themes, avatars, as well as enjoy additional stories.
Track Your Child’s Progress
Connect V.Reader to your computer to monitor your child’s learning, and receive certificates of achievement for each story completed.
Sturdy Design
Kid-tough and perfect for kid-sized hands; cover protects the touch screen.
What’s Included
V.reader Animated E-Book System (including V.Reader Pen)
What’s That Noise? storybook cartridge
One Soft Cloth
User manual
USB cable
I think this is a fantastic system for children. Kids are drawn to the colorful display screen, displaying bright and vivid images on the screen. I think the fun of the games masks the fun that they are having by learning valuable and important information from the game. The game increases kids vocabulary and helps them to further their reading skills. I feel this is a great learning tool and the girl I used it with seemed to really love it!

I would love to win this for my 4 year old daughter! She'll be starting her 2nd year of preschool this coming up school year and then into Kindergarten the next! She has learned all her letters and sounds and next step is using them to form words and learning to read. This would be a perfect activity for her to do to help with that, and one I know she'll LOVE to do!
