Recently a note was sent home from school with those words that no parent ever wants to hear: “Your son is behind on his reading.” This came as a shock to me. As an overachiever myself, I expected the same from my children for some odd reason. I mean, this was the kid who had a future President shirt in almost every size that he has ever worn. How could the future President be behind in school? It was time to take action.
Enter the Tag Reader. Well, the Tag Reader combined with a whole lot of Mommy time. I was determined to get this under control and the Tag was perfect. The Tag Reader is the “New Amazing Touch Reading System” from LeapFrog. This award winning product is essentially a computerized tutor offering help to a child when they need it. The Tag Reader brings every one of the 20 plus stories available to life and had my son enamored from the moment that we opened the box. The Tag Reader makes learning to read fun for everyone. The Tag is easy to use and is usable right out of the box which is always an added bonus in my book. A simple pen reads the words that your child needs help with.
My son has caught up, is now a little ahead for his class (go Huntly!) and his mother is proud. LeapFrog really helped me out and came to the rescue. They want to help families everywhere, including you.
LeapFrog has launched 1 Million Reading Hours in conjunction with the NEA’s National Reading Month, to bring attention to literacy and to encourage families to make time to read together. By pledging to set aside at least 10 minutes a day, we, as parents can contribute to the national goal of 1 million reading hours committed. More important, we can reinforce the importance of shared reading time in our own family. All participants will receive special rewards and offers when they sign up on the LeapFrog website.
So make the pledge today. Commit to setting aside at least 10 minutes every day to read with your child and you will be entered to win one Tag reader + 5 books for personal use, as well as an expanded-memory LeapFrog School Tag reader + 10 books to donate to your local library.

I read to my daughter every night for at least 20 minutes, and I pledge to try to increase that to 30 minutes a day. I think reading is so important and I started reading to her when she was just a few days old. Thanks for the opportunity!
Hi,
I pledged 30 minutes a day, I think that may be a little more than our usual – but it’s important. That reader is amazing, my boy would love it!

I’ve pledged 20 minutes a day over at the LeapFrog site, but we read at naptime and bedtime both, so I’m sure we’ll exceed that. Great giveaway! I was a teacher before my kids came along, so I really understand the value of reading to your kids EARLY and OFTEN. Thanks for raising awareness!

I pledge 30 minutes every night!
I pledged to read 30 minutes a day with my three kids – at least 10 minutes a day with each. Some days we do more than that depending on the weather but that is pretty accurate for us. I think READING is so important for kids and the parents. I made my pledge to LeapFrog too!
i pledged 10 minutes a day
I am a teacher and I know that kids learn to read by being read to. I read to my own kids 15 minutes a day and to my students 15-30 minutes a day. Thanks for the great giveaway.
We pledged to read 10 minutes each day.
I pledged to read 30 minutes a day to each one of my girls, thanks so much for such a wonderful giveaway!
