Fun educational addtion to Tag, just not that durable
This is another great addition to the Tag system. It helps to keep their drive for learning and fun to go full speed, and it shows. The only problem is the quality of the letters. I think this would've been better if they were plastic. First they are hard to get out, and second they will start to fall apart overtime. This is really something I would recommend sitting down, and helping your child to spell words. When I use this with my son, I pop the letters out of their square just a little bit so he doesn't get frustrated. I hope someone from Leapfrog see's the complaints about getting these letters out and changes them. Other than the letters I still think it one extra tool to helping your child learn to read. It helps those that don't know all their letters yet, and encourages those that do know their letters to want to put those letters together to make words.

Tag Reader Super Speller
I bought this for my 4 year old. She is beginning to learn how to read so I thought this was a great addition to our Tag Library. It lets you play a game where it plays a sound and you need to find the letter that makes the sound. I think that is great for reinforcing her letter sounds. However, when it comes to removing the letters from the board, it is impossible! It took me several minutes to remove each letter without ripping them. I gave my daughter a Popsicle stick to help her pry the letters out. They do seem to come out easier each time we use them but it is still a pain to use this game.

Same as throwing your money in a trash can.
The idea of this game is really good. I believe its educational intent is good. However it does not last 1 day. The cardboad-made pieces are too hard to come out. Some of them tear apart on the second atempt. My 4yo daughter did hurt her fingers badly trying to remove the blocks. I won't let her play anymore, and the board goes to the trash before tear her fingers apart. Leapfrog should have done better on that.

Painless letter recognition and word building
The TAG SuperSpeller from early learning specialists LeapFrog is a big hit at our house. My three-and-a-half year old daughter absolutely LOVES it. It is really helping her cement the letter recognition she had already begun (with bathtime letters) and she is almost able to play with it by herself. She has no idea she is doing 'curriculum' - she comes and begs me to help her play with it, rather than me saying, 'time for letters'. It is really, really effective and I think if every pre-school had one, most kids would be reading before kindergarten.

the concept is awesome, the design is poor
The letter squares are cardboard and they are extremely hard to pull off the board. After a few times of pulling the letters in and out of their spaces, I noticed the edges on the square pieces started to pull apart.

The over all concept is really neat but the design is poor and hard for little kids to use

I recommend sticking with the books until this gets redesigned because it will not last long under normal use.
