Comment #39 was the random pick for the LeapFrog Tag prize pack. Amy, who commented, “I pledged 20 minutes per day (total time 10 hrs. 20 mins.). I love that a library is going to benefit from this contest, as well. Thanks!” is the winner. Thanks to everyone who entered!
I love to read with my girls but I know I don’t do it nearly enough as I should. In celebration of NEA’s National Reading Month, LeapFrog has launched 1 Million Reading Hours where you can pledge to set aside at least 10 minutes a day to read with your kids.
We reviewed the Tag reader back in the fall and it is a big hit with my girls, both my Miss A, who just turned 4, and my now reading chapter books first grader, Miss C. It’s great for beginning readers, especially, and the magic “pen” brings the special Tag books to life. There are also fun interactive games built into the Tag books and the library continues to expand. Miss A received the Dora Goes to School Tag book for her birthday last week and loves it. There are children’s reading classics in the Tag library of books, too, like The Little Engine That Could and Green Eggs and Ham.
Now for the fun part. You knew there was a reason why I was bringing all this up, didn’t you?
Leave a comment here telling me how much time you pledged in the LeapFrog 1 Million Reading Hours Campaign. I will randomly choose one winner from all eligible comments left by midnight (CST) March 31 to receive a green Tag reader (a 2009 Toys of the Year winner!), five books (chosen by LeapFrog) for your own use, as well as an expanded-memory LeapFrog School Tag reader plus an additional 10 books chosen by LeapFrog to donate to your local library!
10 hours 20 minutes. This is a great idea!
With a toddler you have to think in 3-minute increments! I pledged 20 minutes per day, which is 10 hrs. 20 minutes.

I love these and keep eyeing them in the stores and thinking my son would love it. We read to him every night before bed and it has been part of our routine since he was 1 (he’s now 3). I have pledged 20 minutes a day, and love nurturing my sons love of books to match my love of books.
I pledged 10 minutes a day (she’s only two, so it’s tough to get through much more sit down time). It was five hours total.
Thanks for the giveaway!
30 minutes a day in 10 minute increments, which factors in the 15 second breaks required to take the chapter books away from teething babies!
Fabulous giveaway! I pledged 20 minutes a day

My daughter is two and is just starting to ask for books to be read to her and really being able to sit for any extended amount of time. We love the Fancy Nancy series and a her new fav is Is there really a human race? by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. Please count us in for 15 minutes a day (and the give away). I would donate those books to the library at the school where my mom works!

Great giveaway. I pledged 10 minutes to read to my daughter and son. Although we usually read at least two book apiece everynight and I’m sure it takes longer.

we typically read two-three stories a day. So I’m guessing that’s 20-45 minutes a day. We are huge library fans – they know us by name. It would be awesome to bless our little urban library like this!
