VTech Bugsby Reading System review

I’m a sucker for learning toys especially for Shaun. Vtech has been a favorite of mine since Sabreena was little with an alphabet teaching school she carried everywhere. Now that Shaun is at the reading stage his educational toy of choice is the Vtech Bugsby Reading System.

We received this a couple weeks ago and it has worked great as a refresher for the new school year. Shaun would wake up in the morning and read for about 20 minutes before coming down for breakfast and then again after lunch during quiet time. The Bugsby also lets him read to his baby sister.
