Vtech V.reader The Kids ereader

June 24, 2010 by Momstart 774 Comments

VTech LogoWhen I saw this in a photo a few months ago, I had to have one to test out. I have tried three different adult readers: The Sony Reader, the Kindle, and the Nook. Seeing one for kids made me so very excited because our kids are so interested in ours. Vtech sent me one to review. Well, they sent one to Zoe to review, it’s made for Ages 3 to 7 win a SRP of $59.99.

Just like the adult readers, the Vtech V.reader reads aloud but as it reads the words highlight so your child can follow along and learn word recognition. It helps with phonics, and word recognition. There are certain words that if they click on them then it takes them to a definition of the word. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention it has a touch screen that works really well. And with my daughter’s knowledge of the stylus she found it and started using it in no time. My kids are so used to touch screens that they think the TV should be a touch screen.

Touch and Read System: Kids have two play options – listen and follow along to the story as read by animated characters; or touch the screen and play reading games to learn each word or sentence.

 

V.Reader

 

Zoe has been reading it for a while now. She really likes it and I’m grateful they sent us an extra book. We’re going to have to get some more books and even download a few when we get the chance. With a rich download library, more than 100 additional stories will be available via a download library located on the VTech Web site (www.vtechkids.com), including some free titles, more themes and avatars to customize their e-readers. V.Reader is compatible with a PC or Mac computer. You can also track their progress.

One of the great things about V.reader is that it uses characters, TV, movies and classic ones that kids love and encourages them to read along.

The Little Engine that Could o Disney/Pixar’s Cars
Shrek o Dora the Explorer
Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 3 o Disney Princesses
Olivia o Disney Fairies

How To Become a Christian Review Blogger #giveaway

July 5, 2009 by MomStart 60 Comments

My best friend in the whole world wrote an e-book on how to become a Christian review blogger. She sent me a copy to review and a copy to giveaway. She is one of the strongest Christians that I know and puts God before everything else. Let me introduce you to her:

 

image You can find me at Faith Approved, a Christian product
review site, and Courtney Chowning, where I blog about
ways to put God first in your blogging and online
endeavors.
I enjoy cooking, reading, movies, photography, scrapbooking, keeping up with
technology, and most of all spending time with my kids and family. I’m
excited about what God is doing in our lives. He blesses us daily and in
extraordinary ways.
My favorite Bible verse is: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet
not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live
by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20 (KJV)

In her ebook she describes step by step what it takes to set up a blog and then how to become a product reviewer. Then she reminds you that you need to put God before everything else or you probably are not doing it for the right reason. She often reminds me of this when I visit her blog. I’m not always doing this and I know I need to. God takes such good care of my family and I’m so very grateful. I found her information to be spot on and let me tell you her information works.

My blog may not be a Christian Product review blog but I learned everything from her. Her networking skills helped me to reach out to others and become the review blog that you see before you.

Also included in her bundle is a listing site list for giveaways and she has some on there that I didn’t know about. See she’s always teaching me something new. If you need some blogging ideas she provides 31 different ideas to keep you from getting blogger’s block and a must have tech list to make your blogging even more seamless.

To win a copy

Visit How To Become A Christian Review Blogger and tell me something else about Courtney.
