For whom and in what spirit
The magazine targets 6-8 year olds, the type of first readers who are still working at strengthening the link between letters and sounds. Games help them recognize colors, geometric shapes and the alphabet, landmarks that support entry into reading. The kid moves step by step, from knowing the letters to deciphering the sounds, carried by a universe that speaks to him.
The popularity of unicorns plays a major role: a child more willingly reads a story that makes them dream. Pixie, Joy and Lady’s stories serve as a pretext for reading, while coloring and stickers offer a creative break between two pages of games. This alternative between reflection, reading and manual activity is well suited to the still shifting concentration of 6-8 years old. The magazine has its place during holidays, transportation or rainy weekends, where it provides several hours of occupancy.
