Tillywig Award Winner 2014

$50.00
2-6 yrs.

SmartBook is a highly effective learning tool. Its most prominent characteristic is its interactivity, made possible by the goDiscover Interactive Pen (included), a device that is keyed to words and images on the pages of all 9 of the early learning SmartBooks in the set. These highly attractive, illustrated, full-color books cover colors, numbers, letters, vocabulary, rhymes, and more. Pointing the pen at a word, image, or sentence causes it to be spoken aloud. Just as importantly, the pen is also a recording device that lets kids record their often playful thoughts and reactions to the contents and questions on the pages. Pointing the pen at the Play Me symbol on any page plays back the child's recording specific to that page, turning the exploration of the books into a free-flowing, spontaneous game. That fun, creative quality keeps kids poring over the books repeatedly, experimenting with their own questions and comments. Since repetition and variation are key elements of how the brain learns, SmartBook's design naturally evokes in children behavior that helps them absorb and understand the material while enjoying themselves to the fullest.
