Revision Fun for Clever Kids

Katie Knapman’s ‘Revision Fun for Clever Kids’ is chock-full of puzzles, brain teasers and cartoons that cover maths, English, geography, history and science. The goal is simple – to engage children and better their results by ditching formal, boring study sessions to instead allow them to learn while having boundless fun. It’s unique to say the very least, with one critic recently writing, “Brilliant book, my 9 year old and 10 year old both love this book and think the puzzles are great fun. It gives them a break from doing 11+ workbooks whilst still learning!”.

Many are confuzzled by the obvious pattern that everyone is ignoring – how the tsunami of “digital overload” in education goes hand-in-hand with a massive rise in mental health concerns among schoolchildren. Youngsters can’t get away from studying these days…

…unless it’s made fun, exciting and becomes something they actually want to do. That’s exactly the mandate of Katie Knapman and her new book, ‘Revision Fun for Clever Kids’.

No more boring study sessions, no more formalities – just tons of fun and games that cover school’s most important topics. It’s learning in disguise!

Synopsis:

Would you like your child to enjoy the contents of a workbook?

Are you keen to minimise the draw of cyberspace and total shutdown?!

Is it time for a day off – a break from past papers and formal revision?

Revision can be challenging for children and workbooks can be boring. If your 8-11 year old child is heading towards school tests or entrance exams, this book will complement their preparation, giving them constructive down time. 

With over 50 pages of cartoons, puzzles and brainteasers, covering maths and logic, English, geography, history and science this is the perfect antidote to more formal study sessions. 

How good is your child’s general knowledge? How good is yours? Tackle the puzzles together to find out.

Revision Fun for Clever Kids: this is not a workbook … but it is a book that works.

“Let’s get down to brass tacks – current learning materials are threatening the mental health of our children, so it’s vital we develop active learning, such as learning through puzzles and games,” explains the author, a former BBC television presenter many will recognise from shows such as ‘Tomorrow’s World’ and the BBC’s ‘Countryfile’. “This is the perfect alternative to an expensive tutor and was initially inspired by the puzzles I created for my own children when they were very young.”

Continuing, “It’s already been selling very well at book fairs and is currently being used in the classrooms of several London schools. Book two is currently in the works and will be published later this year. It has the potential to release children of the mental strain they experience while learning, so I’d strongly suggest all parents buy copies now!”

Reviews have been glowing. One reader comments, “Just brilliant…. and not just for kids… my husband and I had fun going through it with our 11 and 12 year old daughters. Keeps them busy and very informative and fun. What a great and fun way to learn. Could not recommend it more !!!”

Another adds, “My children absolutely loved the inventive manner the puzzles and questions are presented in. There are various tasks at all levels within the specified range – it is a fabulous resource.”
