Developing a clear and articulate voice is a vital part of a child’s journey toward becoming a confident and socially capable individual. Many children feel a sense of hesitation when asked to share their thoughts, especially when it comes to complex topics like faith and values. Wise Compass supports this speaking practice by integrating Realisation Questions that are designed to be answered aloud. These prompts invite the child to move beyond silent reflection and actually verbalise their thoughts on the story’s themes and modern-day dilemmas. When a child explains their perspective on a moment from ‘Road Rage’ using their own words, they are practicing how to structure their thoughts and project their voice with confidence. This values-based reading approach turns every story into a safe and supportive playground for language development, helping children find the words to express their identity with clarity and pride. 

This focus on oral expression is a key part of our scholar-authored strategy for character development and social-emotional learning. By answering these questions aloud, children are building the communication skills they need for school and for life. In stories like ‘Ask and You Shall Be Answered’, the prompts guide them to speak about their own relationship with Dua and trust in Allah Almighty, making these spiritual concepts feel personal and relevant. This process strengthens their identity and helps them develop the media wisdom needed to share their values with others. Muslim parenting is about providing these stable and calm opportunities for growth, where a child’s voice is truly heard and valued. Wise Compass provides the framework for these important conversations, ensuring that every child feels school-ready and spiritually grounded. As they become more comfortable speaking about their faith and their feelings, their self-esteem grows. Every session is a step toward becoming a more confident, thoughtful, and articulate young Muslim who can represent their values with grace and precision. It is a joyful daily practice that transforms the simple act of reading into a powerful tool for self-discovery and connection.
