The Parents’ Choice Award is an award presented by the non profit Parents’ Choice Foundation to recognize “the very best products for children of different ages and backgrounds, and of varied skill and interest levels.” It is considered a “prestigious” award among children’s products, and has been described as the industry equivalent of an Academy Award.
The award recipients are determined by a committee of educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents and children. One of six award commendations are given to award winners: Classic, Gold, Silver, Recommended, Approved or “Fun Stuff.” The awards are held annually.
Word Slam Family is a Parents’ Choice Gold Award Winner.
