Beautiful Stories that Nurture Little Minds

The Cape Ability Approach was developed in a primary school to nurture little minds.  It helps develop self-belief and confidence in a simple and enjoyable way that children love.

Each book focuses on a capability such as resilience, enthusiasm, curiosity and more. These will help children in all aspects of life, from learning to ride a bike to doing things kindly with others.

Using Cape Ability is easy and enjoyable. Get comfy and read the stories so your child learns from our lovable characters.  Key messages are highlighted to help children understand the capabilities, which might previously have been complicated and tricky for a child to grasp! 

Remind the children to use the capabilities in every day life – “What would Sadie Spider do?” “Be like Tommy Turtle and have a go!”

Reinforce the messages using the characters’ mantras and actions – when they make an improvement they can be a Lizzie Ladybird and say; “I’m getting better and better!”

Recognise when your child is using a capability – “That’s a great question – you are just like Clara Clownfish!”

What Our Users Say...

I love Bobby Bee. He makes me believe I can just do it! When I was at the park I was brave like Tommy turtle and I had a go - and I did it!!!

I use the stories daily with my daughters. If they're struggling with something then saying "try, try, try to catch that fly" rarely fails to get them back on track!"

The focus on positive behaviour captivates the children, as they aspire to emulate the Learning Characters attitudes and behaviours in their learning and decision making. The versatility of this approach makes it a highly effective classroom management tool.
