Alphabet Woods, where trees grow alphabetically, was originally recognized for its exceptional language learning value, earning a 2016 PAL Award in June. It was then selected out of all 2016 PAL Award winners as a top ten game for 2016. "We found it to be exemplary among this year's PAL Winners, advancing language in the context of great play," shares Sherry Artemenko, PAL Awards founder and CEO.

Alphabet Woods teaches skills such as alphabetizing and sequencing and will have you swinging among the branches. It is for ages 5 and up and sells for $28.

"We had fun…building Alphabet Woods and branching out with new words to win points, all in the name of smart fun!" explains Artemenko. "Your games are terrific for reinforcing reading skills—especially over the summer," she continues.

Established in 2003 by speech and language expert Sherry Artemenko, the PAL Award recognizes exceptional toys, games and books that, through their design, content, quality, and character, promote play that advances language. PAL winners in the hands of kids spark fun and creative play.

This is the 13^th PAL Award for SimplyFun, including three additional PAL Top Ten Toy Pick.
