IntroductionIntroduction
With the MobiGo®Touch Learning System, children have a fun new way of learning
right at their fingertips. Thanks to great touch screen games that require players to
use their fingers in ways that mimic real life motions, children will feel like they’re a
part of the action. And as they explore with their hands, they will also challenge their
minds and learn valuable lessons about numbers, counting, letters, spelling, problem
solving, music, and more!
