Welcome to the Ferdinand’s Familia* and iKnowABC partnership page
Children and animals. A natural partnership
Ferdinand’s Familia knows this. We at Ferdinand’s Familia live it. Now we’ve partnered with iKnowABC where animals and children embark on a journey of reading and lifelong learning.
For every iKnowABC membership, Ferdinand’s Familia earns 25% of the membership. Roar! Howl! Trumpet! Yay!
That money is used to support all the activities at Ferdinand’s Familia. Ferdinand’s Familia is a non-profit 501(c)(3) home-based organization dedicated to the rescue and permanent placement of injured, abandoned and homeless animals. We provide a safe and secure home for animals until a healthy family environment can be located. We strive to create awareness on animal welfare issues through educational seminars, community events, media-based public relations and K-12 school field trips.

Learning with a Purpose: Helping Real Animals with Every Purchase
As parents, you already know how much your child loves to help. With the iKnowABC Summer Reading Challenge, little ones get so jazzed because by learning their ABCs, they realize that they are actually helping the animals. You’ll be proud of what they have accomplished, and they will feel great about themselves!
And here’s added motivation. At summer’s end, we will donate a portion of the proceeds to Ferdinand’s Familia, a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and permanent placement of injured, abandoned and homeless animals, so children realize that their contribution will make a difference when they do their best. http://ferdinandsfamilia.org/

iKnowABC Creator Cindy Coleman shares ‘back story’ about early reading breakthrough!
“When you teach children a fact, they may or not remember it. However, when you infuse learning within a captivating story set to music – they will remember what they learned for a lifetime! That’s the secret behind the iKnowABC Adventure & App.”
Cindy Coleman, M.Ed
co-founder of Take Pride Learning®
There’s a very good reason why Cindy Coleman’s classrooms were always the noisiest in the school. It’s because her students were 100 percent engaged in the excitement of learning!
“We gamified reading and young children love it” laughed Cindy, who earned both a Master’s Degree in Education in Instructional & Curricular Studies with an emphasis on technology and a B.S.B.A. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Co-founder of Take Pride Learning® and creator of award winning digital and experiential learning opportunities for children and teachers, Cindy said the idea for iKnowABC was born while visiting her sister over the holidays about 10 years ago.
“My sis asked me to check out her four-year-old son’s knowledge of letters. So I just started making up this fun animal alphabet on the fly, and he loved it! A few minutes later, everybody in the room was writing letters, drawing animals and cheering. I turned to my husband and said, ‘I think we’re onto something special.”
Cindy went onto to develop the animal and story-driven idea into an early reading program and pitched the idea to the world famous San Diego Zoo. “They loved it and we developed a wonderful, five-year partnership and sold thousands of copies.”
After her San Diego Zoo success, Cindy spent the next five years developing the program for digital, on-demand users nationwide. “I’m thrilled that young children everywhere will be able to have a thrilling time this summer exploring this epic animal adventure – and learning with every success!”
