S'Match honored with a 2010 PAL Award (Play Advances Language) for promoting language development!

ThinkFun's S'Match game has been selected as one of the top toys, games and books to receive the 2010 Playonwords.com PAL Award (Play Advances Language) for promoting language development.  Language expert, Sherry Artemenko, with the help of kid toy testers, chose the top toys and books that by design, content, quality, and character, engender play that advances language.

Early language proficiency correlates with later performance in school--reading, writing and critical thinking skills--and influences emotional, cognitive and social growth.
