Tag School Reading System
© 2008 LeapFrog
Designed for the classroom, the Tag School Reader is connected to the teacher's desktop computer via the LeapFrog School Connect application, allowing teachers to manager the content and devices in the system. In addition, student progress tracking and reporting features will be available in February 2009. Teachers can set up each Tag Reader and download audio content for all Tag books in their classroom library. Then students can use the Tag Readers to hear stories read aloud, get pronunciation for individual words, listen to audio from characters, and play activities to reinforce skills. The readers come with headphones for quiet, independent use, and there are currently 22 books in the Tag library for purchase. Prices are $275 for a Tag School Reader 4-pack which includes four Tag School Readers, each with the Ozzie and Mack storybook, a set of headphones, a USB cable, and a LeapFrog School Connect application installer CD and $525 for a Tag School Reader 8-pack which also includes a classroom storage box. The books are sold in sets of five or six titles and range in price from $65 to $100 for a single set, $250 to $395 for a 4-copy set, and $475 to $750 for an 8-copy set. You can also purchase the entire Tag School Library Collection of 21 titles (84 books) for $1,075. New for 2009 -- about 12 new books, including more Disney content (Up, Cars, and Ben 10), Spiderman, a Star Wars graphic novel (for older readers); plus Madagascar, I SPY, Olivia, and several Dr. Seuss titles (The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham).
