Teachers Honor Pocket Snails® with Education Industry's Top Award

Soaring Star Productions today announced that the latest release from the Pocket Snails® series has garnered the education industry's top honor; a 2007 Teachers' Choice for the Family Award by Learning® Magazine.

Surprise, AZ (PRWEB) February 8, 2007 -- Soaring Star Productions today announced that "Pocket Snails® Aquaphonic Adventure," its best selling children's educational DVD title, has garnered the education industry's top honor; a 2007 Teachers' Choice for the Family Award by Learning® Magazine. Judged by teachers who are also parents, this highly regarded award program evaluates products on their educational value, originality and creativity, high interest and motivational value for children.

In "Pocket Snails Aquaphonic Adventure" - part of the educational and entertaining Pocket Snails DVD series - young viewers watch as the clever mollusk trio work as a team to help Jake, whose pocket they reside in, learn the sounds of the letters of the alphabet. With camera in hand, the lovable characters make their way to Phonic Island by way of the sea (on and beneath it), photographing recognizable objects - an anchor, a motorboat, a lobster, to name a few - to take back to Jake so that he may learn the sounds each letter makes, making valuable use of repetition so no child is left behind in further learning their ABCs.

"Since only the top 20% of entries receive the award, this honor is truly outstanding," said Kate Beale, vice president, Soaring Star Productions. "We are thrilled that 'Aquaphonic Adventure' has been recognized by teachers - particularly those who are parents - given their educational training, knowledge and judgment in selecting quality learning tools for children."

Learning Magazine 2007 Teachers' Choice Awards for the Family evaluation comments included: "[My daughter] usually has trouble keeping her attention to a DVD for more than a couple of minutes, but this one was different... I liked it so much that I brought it to school to share with the kindergarten teachers... I would recommend this to parents for preschool, kindergarten, and early first grade students. It is an engaging introduction to the letter sounds for the alphabet."

This is the twenty-first national award Soaring Star Productions, LLC has received for its Pocket Snails series. The company is currently working on exciting new titles in the series.
