Key Features and Benefits

Cognitive: 

• Provides the information in a clear organized, consistent manner.  This helps children learn the information in an organized manner that helps in retention and retrieval of that information at a later time.
• Enables children to use a simple style to learn in an age appropriate manner.
• Clues from color-coded cards (if using more than one set at time) assist children in achieving higher success rate and increased self esteem when sorting and/or classifying animals. 
• Because each card only has one animal, the information presented to the children is easily learned so they can progress at their own pace.

Communicative: 

• Cards and their facts are unique and novel to most children and contain concise information providing teachers with topics to start verbal conversations.
• The “deck” of cards can help children learn how conversation flow works by taking turns picking a card and either reading or talking about that card.

Physical:

• The double-sided cards are laminated for easy clean up.
• Cards are oversized and can easily be seen if they are placed on an easel stand in front of a child who cannot hold the card. The font used is large and clear and the space in between the short descriptions is ample.

Sensory: 

• The cards are visually oriented.
