Remy's New Recipes
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 condent in allowing your children
to play these games, and still educate and entertain them in a healthy, age­appropriate manner?
Our solution to this on-going debate is the V.SmileTM Learning System - a unique video game system created especially for children aged 3 to 8. The V.SmileTM 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.SmileTM Learning System engages your child with three 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
specic school skills in a fun, engaging way. Both of these educational modes
offer your child hours of learning fun.
As part of the V.SmileTM Learning System, VTech offers a library of game SmartridgesTM 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 6-8) - 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
