Dear Parent,

At VTech®, we know how important learning to read is to your child’s future.That’s why

we created AlphaBert’s Learn-to-Read System™- a progressive line of interactive

learning products uniquely designed to teach your child how to read, while making the

experience fun and rewarding.

This progressive system eliminates the guesswork when selecting learning toys for

your child. Learning to read is a step-by-step process, and AlphaBert’s Learn-to-

Read System™provides the necessary building blocks in focused stages. Each stage

has its own unique learning milestone, and builds on existing skills with an extensive

curriculum that is personalized to your child’s age and ability.

Beginning Reader Stage: teaches letters, letter sounds and letter-object associations

Growing Reader Stage: teaches blends, phonics to sound out words and simple spelling

Advancing Reader Stage: teaches independent reading, comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, creative writing

Most importantly,AlphaBert and his friends make learning to read fun, not frustrating.

Your child will meet AlphaBert, Sprocket, AlphaBit, AlphaBetsy and AlphaBerto, the

reading robots who love to learn and want your child to share their excitement and

curiosity. AlphaBert & Friends are your child’s learn-to-read coaches who provide

encouragement to fill your child with confidence and pride.

As with all VTech®learning products, AlphaBert’s Learn-to-Read System™

incorporates advanced technologies that are easy-to-use and reinforce learning. Our

hands-on, multi-sensory toys engage diverse learning styles and promote productive

play.

Reading has the power to enlighten, entertain and develop young minds. We thank

you for trusting VTech®with the important job of helping your child learn to read!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech®
