What's an Ultra eBook?

Ultra eBooks revolutionize the eBook experience by turning reading into an immersive, interactive adventure kids won't forget! Ultra eBooks use LeapPad's advanced features to enhance the way kids learn to read. Levels adjust automatically so kids can read at their own pace. If a child gets stuck on a word, he can touch it with the stylus to highlight the letters and hear the word sounded out. A visual dictionary also helps build vocabulary and comprehension skills. Play seven built-in reading games/writing activities to reinforce the learning, and two fun mini-games that build reading comprehension and word recognition skills. A Custom Fit for Your Child. Ultra eBooks feature three reading levels in every story that adjust automatically from simple to more complex sentences so kids can read at their own pace. Children can also choose the learning mode that's best for them: In the Read to Me mode, children hear the entire text read aloud for a non-stop storytelling experience. In the Read with Me mode, the story is read with stops on each page, allowing children to listen to the story and pause for the play/learn activities. In Read on My Own, children read the text on their own and can even record and replay their own voice for each page, replacing the narrator's voice. As children play, results of their word-based and comprehension-based activities inform and adjust learning to fit their skill level. At any point, children may choose to engage with text that is above their recommended level, which allows exposure (with audio support) to even richer language and more sophisticated sentence structure while promoting listening comprehension.

Innovative Learning Approach. Lovable Leap and Tad are the perfect characters to guide kids into the world of words. Kids will be thrilled to follow these age-appropriate mysteries, going back again and again to find new clues each time they read the story. Each Ultra eBook in the Learn to Read Collection features 100 key words, including words that contain target spelling patterns, sight words and high-frequency words—all which help form a foundation for early reading. When children touch these words in the stories, they are sounded out and then collected in an interactive journal. Plus, children earn badges for learning achievements that unlock special items! And children can use LeapPad's built-in microphone to narrate the story!
