How to use: First, insert 3 x AAA batteries. Let your preschooler start by touching a card to explore letter sounds, related words, and silly sentences. Slide your finger across the sentences from left to right to hear them read aloud. When the tablet asks, search for the pictures or words on the card and touch them. To add music, touch the A - Z flash cards. Press the light - up star button to sing along to letter songs. When done, slide the cards into the back for storage. You can grab the handle and take the cards with you. Note: Keep out of reach of small children who might swallow the batteries. Only use 3 x AAA batteries as specified. Maintenance: Wipe the cards with a soft, dry cloth if they get dirty. Avoid exposing the device to extreme heat, cold, or moisture.
