om...
I have been wondering if the LeapPadŽ Learning System
(
http://www.leapfrog.com/do/findprodu...&id=leappadfir
st)
is suitable for a non-english speaking 6 years old kid to learn
english as a second language. I would really like to see some opinions
about it.
Suggestions for alternative devices for this same purpose are also
welcome.
Not a device, per se, but Headsprout Early Reading, an on-line web-delivered
reading program, is being used by a many home users and schools for ESL
children:

Another point of note, no other program that purports to teach reading will
provide the guarantee provided by Headsprout (see:
http://www.headsprout.com/FAQs/#r4 ) -- note, not just "satisfaction" but
"amazement" is guaranteed.
"Your Amazement Guaranteed
Buy Headsprout and give it a real try and we guarantee you will be amazed.
Take as long as you want to complete the program, but you'll know right away
that it works. If you're not amazed at the progress you see within just 30
days, just send us an email within that time to receive a complete refund.
No hassles having to return anything - you keep the Headsprout Booklets and
Progress Map. There's no risk in purchasing Headsprout."
