Learning To Read With The Sparkup Magical Book Reader Review

I received product from Sparkup Reader.com. All opinions are my own.
Cheyenne, my 5 year old daughter, just started kindergarten. Though most kids entering kindergarten don’t know how to read, it has been skills we have pushed to have our girls know beforehand.
