VTech Storio Animated Reading System
The VTech Storio Animated Reading System is a unique and new interactive animated storyteller crammed with educational activities.
The Storio encourages younger children to read through their best-loved film and television characters with fun, exciting stories. They can listen and watch before reading with an adult and then alone.
A story appears on the touch screen of the VTech Storio, the words changing colour as they are read. No problem if you get stuck - just press the dictionary button or on harder words to find out what they mean. A stylus is included for navigating the screen, and you’ll be surprised how quickly young children learn how to use it.
The VTech Storio Animated Reading System also incorporates reading games to teach young readers more about phonics, letters, vowels and more.
There are other fun features such as a downloadable certificate for when your child has finished a story, and the user types in their name to get started, then chooses an avatar from a selection of child-friendly pictures.
The VTech Storio Animated Reading System comes complete with a Toy Story 3 cartridge. Other stories are available and sold separately, including Shrek, Scooby Doo and Dora the Explorer. Use the included USB lead to hook up the Storio to your PC or Mac, and download content from the VTech Download Store on to an SD card, which is sold separately.
The VTech Storio Animated Reading System takes four AA batteries, which are not supplied. It is suitable for children between the ages of three and seven, and retails at just under £55.
