The Leapster L-Max™
handheld Advantage
Introduction
The LEAPSTER L-MAX learning game system combines preschool through 4th grade
learning with the best of video game play. Children become so engaged in the games that
they want to play them again and again—and the more they play, the more they learn!
Best of all, with the LEAPSTER L-MAX handheld, children can learn anytime, anywhere—
on the go or with the TV. The LEAPSTER L-MAX handheld literally puts the power of
learning in the palm of your child’s hand.
A Multisensory Approach to Learning
The LEAPSTER L-MAX learning game system pioneers a new way for children to
learn—through an animated, multisensory learning environment.
◆ Animated sequences visually model the skills and concepts being taught. Correct
answers are greeted by rewards, while incorrect answers are supported by animations
that guide players toward the right answer. When needed, game play will slow down
and allow more time for a child to comprehend the skill or concept being introduced.
◆ The audio component provides additional support as players listen to the sounds
associated with on-screen visuals. Spoken directions help guide the game play and
numerous audio hints help players better understand each concept or skill.
◆ Manipulating the game input controls, the pen (used to select and drag items) and the
directional arrow buttons (used to move characters around the screen) facilitate game
play and help develop fine motor skills.
