Girl Fun PC™
Dear Parent,
At VTech
®
, we know that young kids are eager to get started
learning and exploring tools that their older counterparts are
already familiar with. That’s why we created the Grade School
Gear Series - an engaging set of stylized, interactive computers
that have been especially designed for children aged 3 and up.
Packed with loads of fun, every product in the Grade School
Gear Series covers a variety of subjects including English, math,
science, and geography. The learning is cleverly disguised in
age-appropriate games that kids love to play and master.
The Grade School Gear Series features the Progressive
Learning System, a technique proven to help children learn. If
the child answers a question incorrectly, the program will
randomly repeat the question until a correct answer is entered.
This intuitive technology automatically adjusts skill levels in order
to build knowledge and confidence in a fun environment.
At VTech
®
, we are committed to creating fun learning toys that
foster a child’s intellectual and social development. We thank
you for trusting VTech
®
with the important job of helping your
child learn and succeed!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at VTech
®
