General Knowledge topics for ages 5–6

The world outside the syllabus — countries and flags, landmarks, the human body, history, space and the natural world. Broad, curious, and the quickest route to a child who asks questions.

First-year school work, written to be read aloud. Short sentences, everything a toy the child touches, and nothing timed or scored.
