2. Clear, concise paragraphs of text work to not overwhelm children and slowly build their understanding of complex ideas.

3. Simple activities with a positive ‘I Can’ message encourage children to process and understand an idea by practising and recreating.

4. Delightful, modern illustration – with just enough detail for the 5–7 age range – is fun, friendly and educational to actively support children who learn better with strong visual prompts.

5. Labels, speech bubble text and stand-alone facts allow children to dip in and out, learning and processing at their own pace.
