The early literacy material contains stories that can be readand re-read for pleasure, activities to develop early reading and writing skills, and a systematic phonics syllabus. The development of fine motor skills is gradual and flexible, in keeping with the differing needs of individual children. The units contain stories, games, songs and chants, craftwork, and simple experiments. Problem-solving activities encourage children to think critically and creatively. Values lessons teach children how to behave both inside and outside the classroom. Stories, hand-eye coordination practice and letter formation activities lead to reading and writing simple sentences. The games promote collaboration and opportunities for natural peer-to-peer communication.

The material is divided into nine thematic units, each posing the Big Question. The question is explored in different ways to build and broaden children’s understanding, culminating in a project that integrates their learning and provides a real sense of achievement.
