I have a daughter who is in Montessori school. she is 4 years old.
every time we went to Bookstore or Target store. my daughter likes to play with Mobi Go V. Reader or Leap frog Tag reader system.

I saw a good deal at Target or Toy rus for those toys. however, my husband and i are still debating that should we get one or not?
Does it necessary to have one of those learning system?

Any suggestion?

What can I do next?

My daughter is 4 and has been going to Montessori since about 18 months. She LOVES her Leapster, and for her 3rd birthday, two of her Montessori classmates bought her tech-toys (kid laptops). Necessary? Maybe not....but fun!
She even has a real computer in her playroom with a preschool game that she loves as well.

save your money, get her real books. there are free games online. my daughter loves PBSkids but for learning to read nothing replaces a good old fashion library book.

We spent so much money on leapfrog, etc., and my son barely used them.

Do you spend a lot of time in the car? Do you have younger children that could use them next? Is Montessori a full day, or is your daughter at home a lot?

If not, I wouldn't waste the money. Buy some creative Montessori toys.

Well, my son is just a run of the mill public school kid, but we got him a leap pad computer when he was 3 and his Grandma got him the Leapster with the books also when he was 3 and he loved them. When he outgrew them, my daughter played with them too. Great as a toy, not to be used to supplement actual reading and learning. My kids (6 and 8) have now outgrown them, but they still work after about 5 yrs of being "played" with.
