Launchpad Reading Academy

The Launchpad Reading Academy guides future readers through five levels, from pre-emerging to independent, with a different level in each tablet. Each tablet also has several themes and characters to keep readers at all levels entertained while they learn. Or, you can choose one of our regular Playaway tablets that are loaded with apps, storybooks, and videos that are grouped by themes.

Use the catalog to find the tablet at the right level.

Borrow a tablet at the right level for your child and watch the learning happen right before your eyes.

Search through the various themes, characters, or levels and find the perfect Playaway tablet to educate and entertain your little reader, with the added benefit of peace of mind for you. These tablets won't connect to the internet and your child can't download or purchase unwanted items. Simply type "Launchpad" in the search bar to view all the Playaway tablets and borrow one today.

No setup needed.

Each tablet comes with a soft protective cover, the carrying case, and a USB cable and AC adapter for charging the device. Once the tablet is charged, simply power it up and start the fun!
