I don’t know if I have been lucky, but my children have always taken a interest into reading. We have a huge collection of books at our house ranging from preschool titles to adult. My youngest son is going to be started preschool next year and I want to get him off to a great start. To get him interested in reading, we have one of the Franklin AnyBook Readers that seems really cool!

The AnyBook reader is similar to the LeapFrog Tag system, but doesn’t require any special books. You can use the books from your own collection and you can use your own voice which is a great feature in my opinion. When your child  uses the reader, they will hear your voice and not some pre-recorded voice which allows you to bring their stories to life by adding your own emphases and voice inflection. By using your own voice, you have the ability to create your own character voices or funny sound effects to make the story more fun.
