LeapFrog Tag Junior Leap Reader Junior Nickelodeon Team Umizoomi

Get ready to read and explore early math with Team Umizoomi! As children tap LeapReader Junior to pages and pictures in this interactive board book, they become an active part of a special math mission. Children are invited to count objects in the playground so that Geo can pick them up, to help build a Super Bulldozer out of simple shapes and to fix the Bouncy Bridge using Pattern Power. An original sing-along measurement song reinforces number sense, giving toddlers a jump on real-world math skills beyond counting and operations.

Parents can personalize the audio on their child’s LeapReader Junior so that Team Umizoomi addresses the child by name. As he or she explores the Team Umizoomi book, beloved characters encourage the child to tap, count, sing and say answers, and wait for a response before praising the child’s effort. Positive, personal interactions like these nurture young learners’ confidence and help engage them more deeply in learning.

Using their LeapReader Junior, children can bring this exciting math mission to life with real character voices from the Nickelodeon TV show Team Umizoomi. When a storm makes a mess of UmiCity’s playground, the local children need Team Umizoomi’s help to make it a great place to play again. Readers get to join in the action and help Milli, Geo and Bot save the day by playing activities that use Mighty Math Powers. No job is too big for Team Umizoomi—and with more than 150 audio responses, this amazing book is packed with adventure. Kids can even help grow Milli’s Super Ponytail by singing along to “Milli Measure”.

Many students receive less mathematics instruction than they do literacy instruction. In creating a balanced LeapReader library, the LeapFrog learning team observed a need to create more books and activities that support math learning and foster a love of this subject. Team Umizoomi helps enrich children’s early math knowledge through fun and engaging reading experiences that are steeped in mathematical thinking. Thinking mathematically involves many skills, including measurement, shapes, patterns and number concepts, all of which are present in this book, and all of which are key foundational skills for future math learning.
