Discount LeapFrog: iQuest Interactive Talking Handheld 4.0 - Purple

Customer Ratings:

I got this for our grandaughter because she was struggling in some classes and I thought that the electronic "toy" format might help her study a little more. It is too soon to tell if it has helped her grades, but I have no doubt that it can and will, if she uses it even half as much as she uses her Nintendo! We loaded batteries and gave it a test run before we gave it to her and I didn't want to put it away. The questions were fun and challenging (it's been a looong time since grade school years for both of us!), and it was very easy to lose track of time playing. I've looked at a LOT of similar educational systems, but most of them were either too advanced or too "babyish" for the granddaughter in 2nd grade. Until I found this LeapFrog, I was sure that the kids in second through 6th grade were just "lost children" in the realm of educational games. The cartridges that came with the unit were 4th-6th grade (and her older sister could play with it, too!), but I felt they were easy enough to not be frustrating for a smart 2nd grader, but still something she could use in later grades and not be bored. Now that some time has passed, I need to find out just how much she is using it (or if N-DS games won). Unfortunately, sometimes there's just no way to get a child to use the educational tools (even the games) when they have free access to stuff that is more "fun" to do and requires no thought. *sigh* Still, I would definitely recommend this LeapFrog system to anyone who has a motivated child. It IS fun, challenging, and flexible enough to grow with the child's educational level for more than one or two years.
