Introducing Tag Reading System, the revolutionary touch reading system that brings reading to life like never before. Tag engages children to make reading a rich, fulfilling experience. Children simply touch the Tag Reader (which looks like an electronic pen) to the book's pages, and words talk, characters sing and stories fly off the pages.
With a huge library of hardcover books and games including favorite TV, movie and classic tales, each Tag Book allows children to learn at their own pace, building their skills and their confidence. Plus, by connecting the Tag Reader to the online LeapFrog Learning Path, parents can see what their child is learning -- and even receive recommendations on what books their child could read next! Includes Tag Reader, plus the "Ozzie and Mack" Book; additional Tag Books sold separately. Tag Reader requires two "AAA" batteries, not included.

I recently purchased this for my 5 year old daughter. I thought the idea of it was great, and she loves to read. However, the software for this tool is so bad as to render it almost unusable. First, I installed the latest software from the internet, skipping the CD. As soon as it was installed, it told me I needed an update for it to work. Took 4 times before the update finally was able to install. Then I downloaded three more books of audio files from the Connect website. But I am now unable to synch the new files with the pen. I have tried repeatedly and it always fails. So, as of now I have three worthless, but pricey, books, and the only book that is on the pen is Cat in the Hat which came with it.
It is unbelievable to me that they can't get this to work. The technology for synching files between two devices has been around for what? TWENTY YEARS???? at least.
Also, the software interface is horribly slow. This is really not that complicated of a system - please, leapfrog, just spend the money to do it right. Do you really want reviews like this?
FYI: I am an IT project manager and work with technology all day everyday.
Buyer Beware......

I'm for this great product. My kid would really love it, if he can keep having new books. But check the Tag book library from [...], they are extremely slow to introduce new Tag books, especially the "Classic Storybook" ones. Listen, Leapfrog, can you give us more tag books, or even better, at lower price?

I swear, I blew $[...] on the Tag Reading System along with five or six books. I did this based on all the rave reviews here at amazon.com. This happened circa October 2008. It's now September 2009. The Tag Reading System has, over the past year, gotten very little attention from either of my children, now aged six and 4.5, approximately. It's been quite a disappointment.
The truth is, it's a great product. You upload a bunch of books onto the green-and-white pen. Then you take the pen and run it over each word in a book. The pen says each word. You then take the pen and put it on something in a picture, the pen makes a noise or one of the characters says something. Click a button and the pen will read the entire story to you. Great. Brilliant. Works well. Kudos to Leapfrog.
But neither one of my children gives a hoot about the Tag Reading System. Both of my children are bright, but all attempts to engage them with this product have failed. You cart out the stuff, nobody touches it. You try to use it with them, they would rather play something else with you.
If this product and the books that go with it were A LOT cheaper, I would wholeheartedly recommend it, but 50 big ones for the reader is a bit much to pay, particularly since the books go for 12 to 15 smackers each. I mean, if you get it and your child uses it great, but don't count on it.
Get your children a LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game System - Green instead. My kids use their Leapsters far more than they use the Tag Reading System. The Leapster games provide a nice mix of education and entertainment and are much more engaging than the Tag Reading System.

My three year old loves this! Its great if your child wants to independently read. It makes them feel like a "big kid". So far, I have not had any connection problems from the tag to computer and I am hoping it stays like that. I bought two extra books with it (the one included isn't that good) and I love that they are hardcover. I think I am going to buy the Leapster2 now.
