The idea...continued

The team stars boys and girls, and could star YOU!  Currently near the top of their league, they made a trip to the Champions League final last May, and are planning loads of great stuff!  They also spend a lot of time round at each others’ houses, laughing, joking and planning their next moves.

Who’s in the team?

The team are coached by the boisterous Mr Azalea, and are led by midfielder Freeman.  His brother Will and the brainy Jaz also feature in midfield, and the goals are usually scored by the mysterious Alex, and the brilliant Michael.  Clara and Hardy are normally in defence, with Josiane in goal.

Daily, topical, lively

Instalments of the stories are delivered by email on a daily (or every-other-day) basis, and can therefore be lively, topical and relevant.  We can also personalise the stories to the children who receive them (if desired).  A website supports the stories and provides a forum for discussion, plus access to web, audio and pictorial versions of the stories.  Full subscribers to the service also have access to the full archive and short stories featuring the same characters.

Encouraging Literacy

There is a well-documented issue in primary education (see for example the National Literacy Trust) that children of late-primary age may be reluctant to read.  Kidscapism aims to motivate children by offering a new and modern delivery format, daily and topical features, and stories which may feature them as a participant.  We have some endorsement by literacy professionals in the field.
