IntroductionIntroduction
With the MobiGo™ Touch Learning System, kids 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, kids 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!
