10 Things you should know about

10 Things you should know about...

Brief:

To Create a series of 10 children's books which focuses on teaching them things they wouldn't necessarily learn at school. Life skills and things they need to know outside of school at a young age should be the main focus. They will need to be highly illustrative to make them more understandable and easy for a child to read without assistance.

Considerations:

What will your topics be?

Do you need to talk to parents / teachers to find out?

How do I make the books easy to understand

What age group are you targeting

Background:

Parents are finding it more difficult to find time to read to their children, what is the result of this? What aren't children learning? Some things aren't taught in school, such as basic first aid, and when to call 999. What other necessities arent children learning?

Deliverables:

A range of 10 books

Extensive research into your 10 Topics

Products in appropriate environment

Problem:

1. Children need to learn basic life skills young
2. Children aren't reading as much as they should

3. Children find it difficult to read

4. Some parents don't have enough time to read with their children 

5. There are some things children won't learn at school

Solution:

To produce a range of books looking at different topics to educate children on important life skills, some which they won't pick up at school, to learn from home, such as basic first aid, others such as their alphabet, geography, objects around the home etc. The books will be heavily illustrated so children don't necessarily need a parent to help understand whats going on. 

Range:

There will be a range of 10 topics (the topic titles will be researched in what is needed most)

Distribution context:

They will be placed in Waterstones and available within children areas of libraries.
