LeapFrog Crammer Released – Portable Studying Tool

Written on Oct 7, 2008 by Brian and filed under LeapFrog, News

LeapFrog has released a new portable study aid for kids ages 8-14. The Crammer is a pocket-sized device that allows kids to download questions and flash cards and quiz themselves on the go, all while listening to their favorite music. The Crammer retails for $59.99.

The 4.6 ounce Crammer features 16,000 mathematics, social studies and science quiz questions based on leading school textbooks. Students simply connect the Crammer device to their PC or Mac to manage the content on the handheld. Students can also create thousands of customized digital flash cards—for any subject. An onboard 10,000-word Spanish translator auto-populates Spanish-to-English and English-to-Spanish flash cards and even provides audio pronunciation for each Spanish word. Rounding out the Crammer handheld’s capabilities, a gigabyte of memory is included for up to 10 hours of a student’s favorite music, making it an essential tool for school that allows kids to listen to their favorite tunes while they study.

As with most of LeapFrog’s products, parents can go online to gain insights into how engaged their kids are with the Crammer handheld. Parents can use the Learning Path to see details about how their child is progressing with their Crammer quizzes and how their activities map back to the Scope and Sequence of educational skills that LeapFrog has always built into every product.

The Crammer Study & Sound System is now available and has an MSRP of $59.99. All 16,000 Crammer quiz questions and studycontent are available online for downloading to the device at no additional cost.
