Dear Parent,

At VTech®we know that in order to effectively reach kids, today’s

learning tools have to be plugged into the fast-paced world around

them. That’s why we created the Grade School Learning Series – an

engaging set of stylized, interactive computers specially designed to

get grade-school kids up to speed with their fast-paced, tech-savvy

world.

Every product in the Grade School Learning Series covers a wide

range of school basics – math, language, logic, music, and even computer

skills. Activities are presented in a fast-paced, arcade-game style that

kids will recognize and enjoy. Each learning machine is loaded with

hi-tech features such as a music composer, a computer tutorial, challenging

games, and a real cursor mouse—tools that go hand-in-hand with the

way kids learn, play and use information. And of course, each laptop

is designed to travel easily along with a busy grade-schooler.

With the Grade School Learning Series, kids can access a way to

learn that closely matches the way they already live and play. We

thank you for trusting VTech®with the important job of helping your

child learn and succeed.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech®
