Many children default to saying ‘I don’t know’ when they find it hard to explain their thoughts or when they are afraid of being wrong. This can be frustrating for parents who want to see their child’s mind at work. Wise Compass helps children find their voice by providing them with a rich vocabulary and a safe space to practice reasoning. We want to move them away from the ‘I don’t know’ habit and toward the confidence of explaining their thoughts through the lens of their values and observations. 

Our stories use up-levelled vocabulary to give children the precise words they need to describe complex feelings and situations. In ‘Like Mother, Like Daughter’, for example, they might be asked to reason why the daughter is imitating her mother’s Salah. By following the scholar-authored narrative, children can see the reasons in the story, closeness, warmth, and love for Allah Almighty. This values-based reading approach encourages them to use these story-based clues to build their own explanations. Our interactive prompts are designed to be encouraging and supportive, making the process of explaining reasoning feel natural rather than like a test. This literacy-building focus is coupled with social-emotional learning, helping them feel that their thoughts are valuable. Through full-colour illustrations and expressive audio, we provide multiple ways for them to connect with the content and find their own reasons. Wise Compass strengthens their identity as an articulate and thoughtful Muslim. You will find that your child becomes more confident in sharing their heart and their mind, feeling empowered to explain the ‘why’ behind their ideas with clarity and poise.
