LeapFrog Reading Month – Tag Reader Review

posted by Stacie on March 11, 2013 // 105 Comments »

LeapFrog products have long been a favorite of our family. We love them all. When I first found out I was pregnant, someone sent me the Baby Tad and I was thrilled. I love how LeapFrog combines education with fun into one cool toy. But with LeapFrog there are tons of cool toys. Kids have so much fun that they don't even realize how much they are learning.

I have been a reader since the age of 3. Once I started I never stopped. Much of my childhood was spent with my nose in a book and now although I have switched to an electronic reader for the most part, I still love cracking open a book every once in a while.

I read every single day even if it is only for a few minutes. It is my belief and that of my husband that we lead by example. If our children see us reading and enjoying books, then they will do the same.

I get a secret thrill every single time I see my children with their nose in a book. It makes me excited that they are opening up completely new worlds simply by opening a book.

The goal in my house is 20 minutes per day. Everyone needs to read for 20 minutes a day. However, we surpass that goal on a daily basis.

WHY READ 20 MINUTES A DAY?

“Studies show that the more children read, the better readers they become. In one study, children who read 20 or more minutes per day scored in or above the 90th percentile; those who read less than 10 minutes scored below the 75th percentile.*

…Children who are actively engaged as they read—thinking about what they are reading versus looking passively at the words on the page—have been shown to regularly outperform children who are less engaged in what they are reading.”
