Reading comes to life

Here’s a little gadget that makes learning to read fun for the little technofile in your house.

The V.Reader is an animated e-book system that helps new readers, ages 3–7, practice their reading skills, including reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, word-building and definitions.

Stories come to life as children engage with vivid animation, narration, character voices, graphics, sounds and music. With the V.Reader, they can follow their favorite animated characters such as Toy Story, Shrek and Dora the Explorer, play interactive reading games and view the story dictionary which helps children discover the context of the stories.

More than 100 additional stories are available to download online. And by registering on the website, parents can receive an overview of how their child is progressing. Books are so 20th century.
