Celebrate National Reading Month and Win a LeapFrog TAG Prize Pack!

By


While Read Across America Week is winding down, National Reading Month is just getting started! To celebrate reading, I’ve teamed up with LeapFrog and the National Education Association (NEA) to spread the word about the TAG Reading System’s 1 Million Reading Hours Pledge to celebrate National Reading Month.

Throughout the month of March, LeapFrog wants to encourage families to spend more time reading together. You probably spend some time each day reading to your child so pledge to set aside at least 10 minutes a day every day this month and contribute to the national goal of 1 million reading hours and reinforce the importance of shared reading time in your own family. Whether you pledge to read 10, 15, or 30 minutes a day to your child, you’ll receive a fun certificate, reading calendar, and coupons good for discounts on LeapFrog products at Toys R Us.

To reinforce reading and to add to your home libraries, LeapFrog and Scholastic are hosting a Love of Reading Sweepstakes where 10 winners will get a TAG Reading System, TAG books, and books from Scholastic! LeapFrog and Scholastic together in one giveaway! This sends my heart a-flutter and is truly an awesome giveaway!

To share my love of reading with you, LeapFrog has offered me the opportunity to give away a TAG prize pack to a very lucky Tech Savvy Mama reader. One reader will receive a LeapFrog TAG Reading System with 5 amazing TAG books along with an expanded-memory LeapFrog TAG Reading System with 10 books to donate to their local library.

Seriously!?! How cool is this giveaway??? I love LeapFrog and Little Miss Techie absolutely adores her TAG! Now you win one with a library of books and share the love with your local library!

Your first step to entering is to go to the 1 Million Reading Hours site and pledge to read at least 10 minutes a day to your child. Then come back and leave a comment below telling me how much time you will be reading per day.

    I already read 30 minutes a day to my 3yo daughter, I just made it official.

    My 6yo daughter loves to read too so I pledged her 10 minutes (beyond homework reading) each day.

  76. Sue says

    I pledged 20 minutes a day. I usually do better than that, but it’s a crazy month. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

    A title you posted was, “Disney Princesses: Using A Child’s Interests to Foster a Love of Reading,” and I agree, let the little ones get as many books as their little hearts delight. I still remember the joy books brought me as a child, and I still love to read.

    I read both your leap frog community blog posts. I like the reasoning behind getting your daughter princess tag books. I also enjoyed the
    Tag Motivates All Readers and Learning Path Summarizes Learning post. I think both my 3.5 yr old and my 6 yr old would love it. my 6 yr old, Tristan, likes the talking books in class and likes cause and effect toys. Lily is fascinated with words and letters and I’m sure would enjoy using it.

    I have an old My First Leappad system that Bunny Number Two loves greatly. I’d love to get her something more updated and for which one can buy new books.

    Disney Princesses: Using A Child’s Interests to Foster a Love of Reading

    You sound like me with the avoidance of Disney for a long time . . . In addition to the gender stereotypes, they have some scary characters!

  196. dddiva says

    Disney Princesses: Using A Child’s Interests to Foster a Love of Reading is one of your entries as far as I could tell.
    Tag Motivates All Readers and Learning Path Summarizes Learning is the other.

    This was great, I had no idea they had flash cards too and my boys would love the cars ones. I didn’t realize they had a program I thought it was just books that the kids could get help reading
