Leap Frog: Learning By Leaps and Bounds

You may have noticed the The Savvy Source widget in the right sidebar of this blog (beneath BlogHer Ads), and I’m sure you’re wondering, what on Earth is that thing? I’m happy to tell you it’s a brilliant quiz that aims to help parents assess their children’s language skills. From the website:

The Savvy Quiz is adapted from The Core Knowledge Foundation’s Preschool Sequence, a comprehensive outline of the way young children develop knowledge and skills. Since preschool-age children often spend most of their time at home rather than school, The Savvy Source has adapted the Preschool Sequence for the benefit of parents and other care-givers.

The Parent Bloggers Network asked me to participate in taking the quiz, and Leap Frog sent their new Tag reader and two books for Dawson to review:

Dawson absolutely loves the Tag Reader from Leap Frog.
