VTech Toys Bugsby Reading System *Giveaway*
Over the summer the girls received the Bugsby Reading System. At first they didn’t play with it much and it sat there. I finally got it and showed them what they cna do with it, and Sarah’s eyes popped open realizing it was something SHE could do!
And she loves it, every night when I go to tuck her in her bed she is sitting reading with her Bugsby. In fact she keeps it sitting on her night stand.
I think the reason she didn’t use it at first is because she didn’t know about the pen cartridges. I showed her how to put them into the pen and then putting it back into the book. Now she reads with it like a pro.
A few reasons we love Bugsby:
First off, we love the cartridges! No more downloading books to the pen! No more using up the memory on the pen and no more crying that the book doesn’t work with the pen!
Each book has a special slot in the back to hold the pen cartridges!
The only thing I don’t like about Bugsby, is that when we first got it I would find the pen cartridges scattered around the house. But once my girls realized how important it was to keep the cartridge and book together we don’t have that issue anymore.
Every touch of our magical pen brings reading to life!
Join Bugsby the Book Worm on a magical reading adventure! Your children will love reading along and interacting with their favorite characters as they build early reading skills. Kids will fall in love with reading as they have fun listening to stories read aloud by their new reading pal, Bugsby. Children build reading skills through play as Bugbsy takes them through reading comprehension, phonics, sentence structure, word recognition and more. Kid friendly in design, the Bugsby Reading System includes software cartridge with every story book title – no additional downloads required!
Here is a video of Sarah reading with Bugsby!

I like that it focuses, not only on reading, but language arts as well. And the second part of this is kind of funny…..I homeschool, so the class that it would go to is “Gratia School” (that is the legal name of our homeschool).
I love that this is an interactive reading system that children can build good reading skills through play & fun. I would donate the Xtra reading system 2 my grandsons preschool class. Thanks 4 the opportunity 2 win this awesome giveaway

I love the fact that reading can be fun. I know it’s overwhelming for some. My little one isn’t in school yet, so I would donate it to the kindergarten she will attend.
I think even my older kids who know how to read would think this was fun!
.-= Whitney Sims´s last blog ..Happy Halloween! =-.
My favorite feature is that it has interactive activities. I would donate to my son’s preschool class.
I love that there is nothing to download! As for a class to donate to… probably my niece’s kindergarten class!

It’s a great product overall, but I’m particularly impressed that there is a volume control on the pen. Nice! I’d donate to my son’s PK class.
I like the fact that it works on phonics and helps with word recognition. I’ve seen it in action and it’s great! We would give it to our 2-3 year old class, they would love it!!

I love that it comes with a story about “bugsy”. How cute! I actually don’t have children so both of them are going to the local battered woman’s shelter that I volunteer at. I’m a broke college student but I win things in sweepstakes to donate such as clothes, educational books, backpacks. The kids there have so little many have to leave with just the clothes off their backs so being able to give them brand new items is a real treat.
