VTech V Reader Review and Giveaway

Vtech is dedicated to providing children with educational tools to help them learn, but have fun at the same time. I used this product with a young child that I know.




I had the opportunity to review the new VTech V Reader that has just been released. It is available nationwide in August, but right now it is only available at Target.

The V.Reader is the world’s first animated e-reader system designed specifically for kids aged 3 – 7 years old. The cutting-edge product features:

Animated Storyteller

Stories come to life through animated books on a 4.3″ color touch screen. Children will enjoy narration, character voices, vivid graphics, sounds and music.

Touch and Read System

Two options of play: Kids can follow along with the story or touch the screen to hear words and play interactive reading games.

Teaches Core Reading Skills

V.Reader helps teach reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, word building and more!

Story Dictionary

Enhance vocabulary skills with kid-friendly word definitions.

Downloadable Content

V.reader features a USB port and is expandable with SD memory cards (not included). Download themes, avatars, as well as enjoy additional stories.

Track Your Child’s Progress

Connect V.Reader to your computer to monitor your child’s learning, and receive certificates of achievement for each story completed.

Sturdy Design

Kid-tough and perfect for kid-sized hands; cover protects the touch screen.

What’s Included


V.reader Animated E-Book System (including V.Reader Pen)

What’s That Noise? storybook cartridge

One Soft Cloth

User manual

USB cable

I think this is a fantastic system for children. Kids are drawn to the colorful display screen, displaying bright and vivid images on the screen. I think the fun of the games masks the fun that they are having by learning valuable and important information from the game. The game increases kids vocabulary and helps them to further their reading skills. I feel this is a great learning tool and the girl I used it with seemed to really love it!

  4. I agree with you ~ this looks like a fantastic system! Ours will be learning to read soon, and not only that but they love the stories recommended - Toy Story, Dora, Scooby Doo, etc. It sounds cliche but this really would be fun learning!
