In term of font, i may not having much problems with font size but have to change font type where the Times New Roman must be changed to the Comic Sans MS. This is more appropriate for the young learners. I have understand that the children may be having difficulties in reading the text; as an example the alphabet
Choice of colours also should be the priorities in designing materials for school kids. Besides making sure that the colours can be seen, colour also play an important role in giving motivation for the pupils. Specific colours have different effects. Below are some examples that can be as a quick reference for colour theraphy - colour and the Brain (copied from Biopulse.org):
Black: self-confidence, power, strength
Blue: calming, lowers blood pressure, decreases respiration
Green: soothing, relaxing mentally as well as physically, helps those suffering from depression, anxiety, nervousness
Violet: suppresses appetite, provides a peaceful environment, good for migraines
Pink: used in diet therapy as an appetite suppressant, relaxes muscles, relieves tension, soothing
Yellow: energizes, relieves depression, improves memory, stimulates appetite
Orange: energizes, stimulates appetite and digestive system
Red: stimulates brain wave activity, increases heart rate
On the other hand, i am glad since my activities in the lesson are related to one another and purposely, I am providing the pupils with deminishing assisstance as the activity move from one to the other activity. It means that the activity become more challenge with less assisstance as the pupils follow the activity designed.
