SG50 August Giveaway: Sam and Sally

August 10, 2015

Sponsored

Onto the second week of SG50 giveaways! We have Scholastic’s Sam and Sally series!

One of the many things that I like about the Sam and Sally series is that it teaches children vocabulary through one of Blake and Nakayla’s favourite activity – COLOURING!

Blake was really excited to play with his new book, and I must say, it was a refreshing change from our usual digital gaming. Haha!

And I say play, because you’re kind of playing hide-and-seek with the words/pictures that are hidden in the two-page puzzle. Each puzzle consists of about 16 new words for the children to learn too!


Blake insisted on colouring the other parts of the picture
before looking for the hidden ones!

And even though this series is more suitable for children in Blake’s age group, 4-6 years old, Nakayla wanted in on some action too!

While she’s still learning how to hold a pencil/crayon, and colour within lines, she shocked me by being able to identify about half of the words she saw in the puzzles! Call me bias, but I’m mighty impressed!

Besides keeping the children seated and focused on solving their puzzles, I like how the series has a theme to each book, and within each book, it contains picture puzzles of a place that is in line with the theme (duh!) and words that are commonly associated with it.

This is definitely one great way to introduce new words to Blake and Nakayla and for them to learn their vocabulary in context!

And now, two lucky readers and their child(ren) can experience this too!
