VTech SMARTRIDGE LITTLEREDRIDINGHOOD User Manual

Dear Parent,

At VTech®, we know that every year, children are asking to play video
games at younger and younger ages. At the same time, we understand
the hesitation of most parents to expose their children to the inappropriate
content of many popular video games. How can you feel confident in
allowing your childen to play these games, and still educate and entertain
them in a healthy, age-appropriate manner?

Our solution to this on-going debate is the V.Smile™ TV Learning System
– a unique video game system created especially for children aged 3 to

7. The V.Smile™ TV Learning System combines a kid-friendly design,
age-appropriate curriculum, entertaining graphics, and fun game play
into a unique experience that your child will love and you can support.
The V.Smile™ TV Learning System engages your child with two modes
of play: the Learning Adventure – an exciting exploratory journey in
which learning concepts are seamlessly integrated, and the Learning
Zone – a series of games designed to focus on specific school skills in a
fun, engaging way. Both of these educational modes offer your child
hours of learning fun.

As part of the V.Smile™ TV Learning System, VTech® offers a library
of game Smartridges™ based on popular children’s characters that
engage and encourage your child to play while learning. The library is
organized into three levels of educational play – Early Learners (ages 3

- 5), Junior Thinkers (ages 4 - 6) and Master Minds (ages 5 - 7) – so that
the educational content of the system grows with your child.

At VTech®, we are proud to provide you with a much-needed solution to
the video game dilemma, as well as another innovative way for your
child to learn while having fun. We thank you for trusting VTech® with
the important job of helping your child explore a new world of learning!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech
