Q: Does this require any special set up to use? Can it be used in the car without wifi?

submitted by Diora - 23 days ago
  • A: Download the LeapFrog Connect Application for LeapReader at leapfrog.com/connect; it will walk you through the setup process for your LeapReader, including downloading additional Companion Audio for your device. You can also touch an inside page of your books with your LeapReader and then connect the device to the computer via USB cord; the books' Companion Audio will then download automatically to your LeapReader after the LeapFrog Connect application opens on your desktop.

    Makes Learning Fun!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LeapStart Reading bundle has been interactive and engaging for both of my children! It’s such a fun way to explore learning, while keeping them engaged and paying attention. Both books included were a big hit. There were plenty of activities that were suitable for my kids ages 3 & 5. They really liked the ABCs road trip that helped identify their letters and the audio stories. They felt independent with their stylus, that guided them throughout the book on their own accord. The stylus was comfortable enough to hold in their little hands and the pages were bright and cheerful. Both the books and stylus seem to be durable enough for kiddos to navigate throughout the books. Overall, it’s such an interactive way to make learning fun! 10/10 recommend!

    Great for learning

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3 year old has been using the Leap Frog LeapStart Reading Buddies Read, Listen & Learn Bundle everyday since we received it. There is a lot to explore in the two activity books, especially with the stylus. There are many opportunities to learn throughout the pages that keeps my toddler engaged. The stylus also has the option to read stories out loud by pressing the book button. My son is a Spanish speaker and we are trying to incorporate more English in his routine. This has been helping him learn words and numbers in English. I also hear him repeating some things in English!

    The best!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up learning to read with my leapfrog leap reader and remember loving it so much, and so happy to see the products still around! My 3 year old absolutely loved it! He was giggling and interacting with everything in the books. He even started asking for more books! It’s got a volume feature which I love cus some toys can get too loud. It was super easy to set up and I can’t wait to get him more books to explore!

    Not the best

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sadly, I am not a fan. First, this pen requires batteries yet there is a c-port opening. Why? The pen also feels really flimsy. It’s also not very user friendly in my opinion. Took some time for my toddler to learn to use properly, which frustrated her. I understand it’s a learning toy but it’s not very easy to use.

    Screen free entertainment for hours

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter keeps wanting to play with this again and again! It has so many cool different features it can provide entertainment for hours. My only concern is the age range this toy is made for, my daughter is almost 3 and had a hard time working this I don’t believe this is an appropriate gift for a 2 year old.

    A fun and interactive learning bundle that makes early reading more enjoyable for kids.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This LeapFrog Reading Buddies bundle is a fun and engaging way for children to explore books and develop early reading skills. I love that it combines reading, listening, and interactive learning to help keep kids interested. The sound features make storytime more enjoyable, and the activities encourage children to learn at their own pace. It is a great educatiohal tool for building vocabulary, improving listening skills, and developing a love of reading. The materials are colorful and appealing to young children. I would recommend this bundle to parents looking for an interactive learning experience at home.

    A Must-Have Learning Tool for Preschoolers!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom, I’m always looking for educational tools that keep my 4-year-old daughter genuinely engaged without relying on screens. My daughter is currently in preschool, and she is at that wonderful age where she’s curious about everything—especially letters, phonics, and stories! When I got the LeapFrog LeapStart Reading Buddies (Read, Listen & Learn Bundle featuring Tiger), she fell in love with it immediately. What I love most about this set is how seamlessly it balances learning with fun. My 4-year-old daughter loves holding the interactive stylus and tapping on the pages to explore letters, letter sounds, and new vocabulary words.Pressing the book button on the stylus plays two complete audio stories starring Tiger, which really boosts her listening comprehension and spark her imagination.She has been obsessed with the Letter Learning Road Trip book! She spends so much time tapping different musical instruments and letter prompts on the interactive pages. It keeps her entertained for hours while building early reading skills for preschool. Phonics and letter sounds come through clearly without muffled distortion, which is critical for early language development.The character voices and fun sound effects are vibrant and clear, making storytelling feel lively and interactive. The volume level is kid-friendly and easy to hear in a home environment without feeling overwhelmingly loud.The included spiral-bound activity books are printed on thick, sturdy, coated paper that resists tears and bends easily. The bundle comes with two activity books right out of the box (including Letter Learning Road Trip).The stylus is compatible with the entire library of LeapStart books, so as my daughter grows into kindergarten topics, I can easily expand her collection.The removable Tiger figure is adorable, and you can collect other Reading Buddy characters to unlock different audio stories.It requires 2 AAA batteries (not included), so make sure to have those ready when opening! I couldn't be happier with this set! It gives my preschooler an interactive, screen-free learning experience that she genuinely enjoys every single day. Seeing how confident she feels tapping through the activities and practicing her letter sounds on her own makes this an absolute winner in our home!

    So much fun and learning at the same time

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this reading buddies for a free exchange my honest review. My son absolutely loved it so much. It’s very creative reading game for toddlers. Makes the reading such a nice game and nice activity. It’s very easy to use to just add some batteries to the audio bin and charge it and just buy put the Bin on the word it’s gonna say it and tell the story. Your kiddo gonna grow with learning ABCs, colors, animals, numbers, and more . The sound is very clear and you could easily increase or decrease the volume. it’s gonna make your Toddler busy for at least 2 to 3 hours every day and mix playing with learning.  for me I really love leapstart toys. It means of such a great quality and it is good investment for your kids learning. I would be 100% recommended.

    Cute concept. Two and a half year old is figuring out how to use it, but seems interested. I think this will grow with her as she discovers more features. I’m hoping this will be a good toy for the car. I do think it’s a bit misleading to describe the bundle as including two books when the second is more of an ad/sample of the other available books.
