Reading Fun with V.Reader
There is no doubt about it, we are a tech family. When a rep for V.Tech reached out to me to see if I would be interested in taking a look at the new V.Reader, immediately I knew my kids would be thrilled. We have been fans of V.Tech for a couple of years now and really like the educational twist they add to their products.
With one child beginning to read, the V.Reader helped capitalize on his curiosity to learn. My son was eager to try the V.Reader out as soon as it arrived on our doorstep. Before I could even get it out of the box, he was curious to know what all he could do with it.

V.Reader is like an e-book reader for kids. Stories are animated and read aloud. Cartridges also include fun learning games. As a parent, I like that I can see my child’s progress when I plug the unit into the computer.
Apparently the fun isn’t going to stop with the additional storybook cartridges. There are plans,
according to the v.reader website, to offer downloadable stories as well. While this feature hasn’t launched yet, I’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival. I like the idea of being able to expand our “library” with a simple click of a mouse button.
My kids love the V.Reader. I love knowing that they are not only having fun but also learning at the same time.
One thing to note about the V.Reader is that it is probably a good idea to invest in either rechargeable batteries or a wall charger. My kidlets use the V.Reader all the time and I found that the batteries ran out rather quickly. So having rechargeables on hand makes it easier to keep the
learning fun going.
