Dear Parent,

At VTech®, we know that every year, children are asking to play video games

at younger and younger ages. At the same time, we understand the hesitation

of most parents to expose their children to the inappropriate content of many

popular video games. How can you feel confident in allowing your childen

to play these games, and still educate and entertain them in a healthy,

age-appropriate manner?

Our solution to this on-going debate is the V.Smile™ TV Learning System –

a unique video game system created especially for children aged 3 to 7. The

V.Smile™TV Learning System combines a kid-friendly design, age-appropriate

curriculum, entertaining graphics, and fun game play into a unique experience

that your child will love and you can support. The V.Smile™TV Learning

System engages your child with two modes of play: the Learning Adventure

- an exciting exploratory journey in which learning concepts are seamlessly

integrated, and the Learning Zone - a series of games designed to focus on

specific school skills in a fun, engaging way. Both of these educational modes

offer your child hours of learning fun.

As part of the V.Smile™TV Learning System,VTech®offers a library of

game Smartridges™based on popular children’s characters that engage and

encourage your child to play while learning. The library is organized into

three levels of educational play – Early Learners (ages 3-5), Junior Thinkers

(ages 4-6) and Master Minds (ages 5-7) – so that the educational content of

the system grows with your child.

At VTech®, we are proud to provide you with a much-needed solution to the

video game dilemma, as well as another innovative way for your child to

learn while having fun. We thank you for trusting VTech®with the important

job of helping your child explore a new world of learning!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech®
