Girl Fun PC

™

Dear Parent,

At VTech

, we know that young kids are eager to get started

learning and exploring tools that their older counterparts are

already familiar with. That’s why we created the Grade School Gear Series - an engaging set of stylized, interactive computers

that have been especially designed for children aged 3 and up.

Packed with loads of fun, every product in the Grade School Gear Series covers a variety of subjects including English, math,

science, and geography. The learning is cleverly disguised in

age-appropriate games that kids love to play and master.

The Grade School Gear Series features the Progressive

Learning System, a technique proven to help children learn. If

the child answers a question incorrectly, the program will

randomly repeat the question until a correct answer is entered.

This intuitive technology automatically adjusts skill levels in order

to build knowledge and confidence in a fun environment.

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
