Micro-learning (also known as bite-sized learning) is the very practical technique of teaching kids complex information in phases that they can understand and master. The idea is, that the smaller and more detailed the teaching unit, the more it is imprinted in children’s minds. Once internalised, they can build on that imprinted knowledge and grow to master even the most complex subject matter. Each spread in this volume, 1000+ Bite-Sized Facts! Nature, will address a specific topic from different points of view, with both visual, numerical, and verbal explanations. The four macro topics covered are: vegetables, animals, habitats and geology.Ages 8 plus.
