The wipe write repeat books are a series of books illustrated beautifully by Teresa Bellon with her unique geometric style and designed by me. To complement her style we decided on a similar geometric layout with colourful squares and rectangles to make the illustrations pop!
These books will catch the eyes of any kids and will engage them to learn the skills needed for school whilst also familiarising themselves with such skills due to the wipeclean format of these books and pen, so once they're done they can erase and start again which will also help them with their pen control.

The dimensions of these books are 250mm x 250mm with the extent of 6 spreads within each of the books. Each of the books is designed very carefully to keep in mind the grid format presented by the coloured squares that work cohesively with each other, while also having bright and bold imagery to pop out at the kids.
This was one of my favourite tasks I handled while working at iSeek as it taught me a lot about how to present colours, especially to a younger demographic while also laying out work that will aid kids in learning.
100 words - wipeclean
The first book in the series is 100 words where we aim to teach kids of a young age to recognise and trace over 100 words that we think are important in their early development.
The task in this book encourages pen control, visual recognition, and hand-eye coordination.
simple sums - wipeclean
The second book teaches kids a fun way to learn the concept of adding on, simple number bonds, and counting to 20. We did this so we can pursue a different subject matter with what we think kids need to learn in their early development.
These exercises encourage number recognition, pen control, and hand-eye coordination.
get ready for school - wipeclean
The third book in the series expands on both the first and second books while also exploring other subjects kids will need for school such as shapes, colours, matching, and opposites.
The tasks in this book encourages pen control, visual recognition, and hand-eye coordination.
