 Great Start for Reading Jan 22, 2010
By Lisa Hernandez
"Chi-Girl"
My neighbor originally bought these for her son, who is 6. They were too beginner for him, so she handed them to us. My son loves them. They are very beginning words, The cat pulled a bat from the hat. The games are really neat in the back too. My son enjoys listening to the clues and finding the answers. He really has yet to pay attention to the words, but he's 3. We have time!

 I like it...my daughter, however, is a grumpy reader Dec 30, 2009
By Shannyn Bishop Snyder
I love the Tag system, and I think it is a great learning tool for our Kindergarten homeschool curriculum. My daughter is a bit of a grumpy reader unless you get her on a great day, so it is important for me to have a variety of items like workbooks, books, DVDs, games, etc. for her to propel through reading. She likes the TAG system, and it is a great tool, but until she gets through the frustration of learning to read using phonics and sounding out words, this will be a challenge. She wants to rush, but this system is not meant for that. It is a terrific tool, but your child will not read overnight and may not "love it" for what it is - it's not playing with Matchbox cars or a Leapster, it is reading, so be patient and use in only small doses until your child's reading really takes off.

Tag Reader Jun 24, 2010
By Jennifer M. Hughes
I am a special education teacher and my students love the tag reader. For students who have trouble reading it helps them tremendously. It also helps with comprehension skills.

First set of leap frog books and love 'em Nov 25, 2009
By John
Our kids love the books in this set! We're amazed at how the pen reads the book. We call it the magic pen. It really is pretty amazing. Our oldest loves pressing the pen to the words, story elements, and the games. Our youngest likes pressing the pen to the pictures and hearing what they have to say. It really is a fantastic idea and great for learning. Our oldest is already starting to recognize the words. I'm glad we have the set because if we had just one book, that's all we'd hear!

Great value on multiple books; method is somewhat lacking Jan 29, 2011
By Kelly C.
If you take this set at face value, it is a great way to get 6 tag books for a great value. These are different from regular Tag books in that they are shorter, words are bigger (and can be set to read word-by-word, or sound at a time), and they do have a smaller activity section in the back for a "game".
As far as teaching to read, I personally don't like that the focus is on vowels, rather than consonants, first. My almost 4 year old can't focus on learning the middle sounds yet, and the book assumes that consonants are already learned. So, for now, we just use them as books, and hopefully as he gets older, he'll be interested in breaking down the words sound-by-sound.
So, overall, if you expect to get a top-notch reading program, you'll be disappointed. BUT...if you expect to get some great little books to add to your Tag library that might AID in mastering basic reading concepts, then you'll be pleased. The Leapfrog site often has all three phonics sets for less than the cost of two at regular retail (just a heads-up!).
