Dear Parent,

At VTech ®, we know that every child has a unique set of strengths and interests. That’s why we created the Artificial Intelligence Learning™ Series - a sophisticated set of learning tools that track your child’s activity and respond by tailoring the learning experience specifically to your child’s needs.

Every product in the Artificial Intelligence Learning™ Series actually keeps a record of your child’s performance, and adjusts the subjects and skill levels accordingly. The programs will accelerate the skill level in a strong subject, and focus on subject areas that require more work. All the while, your child is learning through engaging, arcade-style games in which fun and learning are seamlessly joined.

All the Artificial Intelligence Learning™ Series products feature hi-tech, ergonomic designs, stereo sound, large LCD screens and a plug-in mouse or touch screen - features that add a new level of sophistication to your child’s learning experience. Also, all the products were designed with portability in mind, so that kids can bring the learning fun anywhere, anytime.

At VTech ®, we are committed to creating fun learning toys that foster a child’s intellectual and social development. We thank you for trusting VTech ® with the important job of helping your child learn and succeed!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech ®
