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 children 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 8. 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 6-
8) – 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®
