Learning Laptop

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®
