LeapPad

I reviewed LeapPad, which are interactive books that help kids learn different concepts. It teaches children things like math, geography, science, reading, and vocabulary. I am planning on teaching kindergarten or first grade and LeapPad is a great tool to have in my future classroom because it helps students to develop basic learning skills like sounding out words and learning what words mean. It is fun and very interactive for students. LeapPad gives students the chance to learn new materials and the chance to get help if need. For example, when a child is learning to read they can use the LeapPad by running the pin over a word and being able to learn how to say that word and what it means. This tool will save students time asking or looking words up in a dictionary. It also enhances students understanding of material that they are learning. LeapPad is a great tutorial because it presents new or old material and allows students to practice and review information.

Cheney Elementary School in Orlando, Florida is a great example of a school that has adapted LeapFrog products like the LeapPad in their classrooms.
