Spot shows how learning and fun can be integrated - Times Educational Supplement

This is the Parents and Teachers Page, an invaluable introduction to information and activities featuring Spot for use in schools and pre-school settings.

Spot can be a wonderful ally in the nursery, pre-school, classroom and at home because he is already a familiar figure to any young child. The bold outlines and colourful, simple pictures in the Spot books are easily recognizable and have great appeal.

Spot is an early learner himself, whether off on a trip to the outside world, going on vacation, coping with a new sibling or learning to count. Children will identify with these new experiences and grow in confidence with Spot!  Spot's friendly face and jolly personality will reassure children that gaining new skills is great fun.

The website games offer considerable opportunities for both skill and language development. Short guidance notes link these activities to the Foundation Curriculum, to the requirements of the Literacy Hour, and to the most rewarding use of the activities in the home setting.
