Dear Parents,
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 Electronic Learning™ 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 Electronic Learning™ 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 Electronic Learning™ 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®
