Pilot Reading Program from LeapFrog

Attention Kindergarten Teachers: Pilot Reading Program from LeapFrog!

LeapFrog is excited to introduce the Tag Kindergarten Program, in which we partner with teachers to help them inspire kids' love of reading. In this pilot program, LeapFrog provides teachers the Tag School Reading System, which features a pen-like tool that interacts with real books to give students a fun, multisensory and increasingly independent reading experience. Participating teachers receive Tag School Readers and a library of books to supplement their classroom instruction, plus program and technical support--the retail value of which would amount to at least $3,200. In return, we ask that teachers integrate Tag and Tag content into their classroom curriculum and provide feedback on children's use of Tag and their progress. LeapFrog tools have been in hundreds of thousands of classrooms, and we are always searching for better ways to meet the needs of students and teachers. At LeapFrog, we believe that a child who loves to learn ... will learn. And learning to read is where that love begins.

Teachers interested in participating should fill out the short application form at http://www.formspring.com/forms/LeapFrog-TagKProgram by November 11. LeapFrog will notify teachers beginning in mid-November if they are chosen to participate. Space in the pilot program is limited, and LeapFrog is seeking kindergarten teachers who are motivated to use new tools to improve the reading skills of their students.
