The World of TAG™

With every touch of the

TAG Reader, words talk, pictures

sing and stories live out loud!

The TAG Reading System engages children’s senses to make reading

a rich, fulﬁ lling experience. It allows children to learn at their own pace,

building conﬁ dence. Well-loved characters and engaging stories

inspire children to read and develop a lifelong love of reading.

Activity Storybooks, Kid Classics

and games

The TAG Reading System features two types of books and a line of games and activities, all sold separately. Activity Storybooks combine fun stories with learning activities created to help your child build vocabulary, decode words and learn other

core reading skills. Kid Classics are stories you know and love, brought to life with

the TAG Reader. Because reading happens beyond books, the TAG Reading System

offers games like activity cards and a Super Speller board.

Well-loved characters and

engaging stories

TAG books are designed to foster a love of stories and encourage children on their

reading journey. Each TAG book includes an engaging story with loveable characters

and features that help support your child’s growing reading skills. Children love

the idea that a book belongs to them. TAG storybooks allow your child to create a

nickname and plays it back during games and activities.

*Compatible with most headphones. Headphones not included.

Getting Started

Let’s Play Tag!

Battery Installation

1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment with a screwdriver, coin or other household tool.

2. Remove the battery cover.

3. Insert 2 new AAA (called LR03 in some countries) alkaline batteries as shown in the polarity (+/-) diagram inside the battery compartment. Batteries are not included with this product.

4. Replace battery door securely and tighten the screw.

Get Ready to Play with TAG™

The Ozzie and Mack storybook audio comes pre-loaded on your TAG Reader. To download audio for other TAG books, games or activities, you must use the LEAPFROG® Connect Application (see page 6).

1. Press the On/Off button to begin. The green power light will shine when the TAG Reader is on.

2. To begin, touch the tip of the Reader to an image or word in the Ozzie and Mack storybook.

3. You can also listen to TAG stories on the go. Simply press the Audio Book button to hear the entire story read aloud.

Extra activities: In the included Ozzie and Mack storybook, your child can explore Mack’s Bug Book, help Ozzie and the gang make up silly rhyming songs and crack secret codes at the club house.

Note: The TAG Reader will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity. You can wake it up again by pressing the On/Off button.

If your child is reading independently but still wants a little help, he/she can touch individual words to hear them read aloud. Reading comprehension games help engage your child throughout the story, encouraging your child to think about what has just been read.

Connect: Connect the TAG Reader to

your computer to download stories or see the rewards you’ve earned.

Installing the LEAPFROG® Connect Application*

The LEAPFROG Connect Application on the included CD allows you to download audio for the entire TAG™ book and game library, see the rewards your child has earned for playing with the TAG Reader and connect to your child’s unique LEAPFROG Learning Path.

1. Use the included CD to install the application on your computer.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation (NOTE: you will need an Internet connection for the installation to work).

3. After you’ve installed the LEAPFROG Connect Application, you will be directed through some setup screens that require creating a LEAPFROG account. A LEAPFROG account is not required to use the application. However, this account allows LEAPFROG to create a customized LEAPFROG Learning Path for your child, providing you with detailed play data and insights into what your child is learning. The LEAPFROG account and setup is also necessary in order to access TAG rewards.

*If you already have the LEAPFROG Connect Application installed for another device, you will still need to insert the included CD to get your TAG Reader software.

Connecting Your TAG Reader

Once you have installed the LEAPFROG Connect Application, connect the TAG Reader to the computer with the USB cable that was provided with your device. The Reader will automatically turn on and remain powered on for ﬁ ve minutes. (If the green light is glowing, it is on.)

After ﬁ ve minutes of inactivity, the TAG Reader will turn off to conserve battery power. If you want to perform an action that requires the Reader to be connected, you must turn it back on again, or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

Select a Player Proﬁ le to Begin

Once you have created your child’s TAG player proﬁ le, each time you open the LEAPFROG Connect Application you will see that player proﬁ le listed on the Home page.

Click the button showing the player proﬁ le that you want to use to enter the TAG view. If you have more than one TAG player proﬁ le, or player proﬁ les for other devices (e.g., DIDJ™, LEAPSTER®2 or CRAMMER™ devices) you may need to use the scroll bar to the right of the player proﬁ les to ﬁ nd the one you want to explore.

Create a Player Proﬁ le

The ﬁ rst time you connect a TAG Reader to your computer, the LEAPFROG Connect Application will ask you to create a TAG player proﬁ le for that device. Think of this as a nickname for the TAG Reader.

Each TAG Reader must have a unique player proﬁ le. Type a player proﬁ le name in the ﬁ eld and click the OK button. You can use any combination of letters, numbers, dashes or spaces when creating a TAG player proﬁ le.

Switch Player Proﬁ les

To switch to a different player proﬁ le, click the Home button at the top of the LEAPFROG® Connect Application window. From the Home page you can select another player proﬁ le and enter that device view. You can also switch player proﬁ les by connecting a second device. A message will appear asking if you would like to switch to the player proﬁ le associated with that device.

Note: You can distinguish which player proﬁ le is in use by looking at the greeting in the title bar of the LEAPFROG Connect Application window. There will be a message that reads: Welcome [player proﬁ le]

Change a Player Proﬁ le Name

In the future, you may want to change the name of your child’s TAG™ player proﬁ le. To do this, click the Settings button at the top of the LEAPFROG Connect Application window and select the TAG tab. You must be signed in using the original TAG player proﬁ le to perform this function, however, your TAG Reader does not need to be connected to your computer.

Entering the TAG View in the Connect Application

After selecting a player proﬁ le and entering the TAG view, you will see four tabs on the left side of the application window: TAG Home, Audio Downloads, On My TAG, and Rewards. Clicking one of these tabs will open the associated page in the area to the right. Some of the tabs require an Internet connection and/or require that the TAG Reader be connected, and others do not.

• TAG Home. This page is always accessible; however, for rewards totals to be

updated and visible, an Internet connection is required and the TAG Reader must be connected.

• Audio Downloads. An Internet connection is required to access this page.

• On My TAG. You can always see a list of ﬁ les that are stored in your library (on your

computer); however, the TAG Reader must be connected to your computer to save ﬁ les to the device.

• Rewards. An Internet connection and Adobe Flash Player 8.0 or later are required to

enter the Rewards page, and a LEAPFROG account must be set up so your child can access earned rewards.

TAG Home Page

The TAG Home page welcomes you to your child’s TAG player proﬁ le, supplies a few quick links to the most commonly-used areas within the TAG view, and shows a total rewards count. You can return to this screen at any time by clicking the TAG Home tab on the left side of the screen.

Multiple TAG Readers

Each TAG Reader is assigned to one child and has a unique TAG player proﬁ le name. However, the LEAPFROG Connect Application supports multiple TAG player proﬁ les. This means that many TAG Readers can be managed using one LEAPFROG Connect Application. You will see all of the TAG player proﬁ les listed on the Home page.

It is recommended that you connect only one TAG Reader to your computer at a time. If you connect a second device while the ﬁ rst Reader is connected, the second TAG Reader might not be recognized. If this is the case, you will need to turn the second Reader off and then on again, or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable for it to be recognized.
