Dear Parent,

VTech® we know that in order to effectively reach kids, today’s

At

learning tools have to be plugged into the fast-paced world around
them. That’s why we created the Grade School Learning Series – an
engaging set of stylized, interactive computers specially designed to
get grade-school kids up to speed with their fast-paced, tech-savvy
world.

Every product in the Grade School Learning Series covers a wide

range of school basics – math, language, logic, music, and even com
puter skills. Activities are presented in a fast-paced, arcade-game
style that kids will recognize and enjoy. Each learning machine is
loaded with hi-tech features such as a music composer, a computer
tutorial, challenging games, and a real cursor mouse—tools that go
hand-in-hand with the way kids learn, play and use information.
And of course, each laptop is designed to travel easily along with a
busy grade-schooler.

With the Grade School Learning Series, kids can access a way to

learn that closely matches the way they already live and play. We
thank you for trusting

VTech® with the important job of helping your

child learn and succeed.

Sincerely,

®

Your Friends at

VTech
