Pledge to Read More (LeapFrog TAG Giveaway!)

by Katja Presnal on March 11, 2009

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I am a huge fan of the LeapFrog TAG (or pretty much all LeapFrog products). My first-grader was not interested in reading at all when schools started past fall, and we tried everything to get her more interested in reading. I turned into my Twitter-friends and asked what other moms would recommend for me to do, I was lost. So many moms recommended the LeapFrog TAG reading system, and we got it the next week.

LeapFrog TAG worked like a miracle – Gaby got more self-confident about reading and she suddenly started reading more also other books, and now the “I hate reading” tantrums are history. Now she loves to read! TAG was “the thing” that inspired her into reading and made her feel like she can do it, and she overcame her reading anxieties.

But you know… there are great books, great toys like the TAG, but what really makes the biggest difference in your child’s reading is you. By being an example and reading yourself, and by reading for your child, you can inspire your child into getting more into reading. LeapFrog wants to inspire you and your child to read more, and they are inviting you to pledge to read to your child during their 1 Million Reading Hours Campaign . As I am writing this, almost 280,000 hours have been pledged. Pledge now to celebrate the national reading month and do it for your child!

One more reason to pledge now:
When you pledge to read with your child, you will receive LeapFrog TAG coupons to get $10 off TAG reading system, and $4 off any TAG book at your local store. Or shop online now at Amazon and get the $10 off the system and $4 off the books automatically at Amazon.com, no coupons needed.

LEAPFROG GIVEAWAY

You can win one LeapFrog Tag reader + 5 books for personal use, as well as an expanded-memory LeapFrog School Tag reader + 10 books to donate to their local library. Amazing giveaway – thanks to LeapFrog and them really wanting to encourage your child to read!
