TIE YOUR SHOES WITH SLIPKNOT SAM. “Slipknot Sam is a great instructional book with special shoelaces and a CD Rom to kick-start a difficult developmental task of learning to tie your shoes. I highly recommend Slipknot Sam. The book appeals to children as fun and exciting with the accompanying CD and CD ROM re-enforcing what they are taught in the book. The book offers two ways your child can learn to tie their shoelaces, which is an added benefit. The Bunny Ears method seems to be quite popular with the younger ones. The skill of tying shoelaces requires fine motor skill, concentration and co-ordination. Put these all together and children can be overwhelmed and find the whole task of learning to tie laces daunting. Enjoy Slipknot Sam with your child then let them practice. Before you know it they will be tying their shoe laces without help.”- Katherine McDowell (B.A.App.Sc OT) Occupational Therapist, Child and Adolescent Family Team, Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital.
TELL THE TIME WITH TIC-TOC THE CLOWN. “If you know a child who is struggling to learn to tell the time, this is the book for them. The integrated approach to time teaching is brilliant. Based around Tic-Toc the Clown and his daily activities, the story maps the day according to time, which is reinforced in the text and shown on analogue clocks throughout. Pop the included CD-ROM into the computer and the story is replicated, with a few extra fun bells and whistles. But it’s the interactive clock on the disc that is really impressive. Using the mouse, your child is challenged to move the hands of each clock to match the digital times shown. The clock used is clear, showing hours and minutes, and the action of moving the hands to the correct positions seems to reinforce learning the time quickly. Equally impressive in this range are books dedicated to teeth cleaning and tying shoes.” - Sydney’s Child November Gift Guide 2009. NOTE: According to the latest Scholastic report (August 2009), “Tie Your Shoes with Slipknot Sam” and “Tell the Time with Tic-Toc the Clown” have sold over 55,000 hard copies through their school book club program since January 2009. |
