Don't Give Up Sadie Spider!

“Try, try, try to catch that fly!”

This is Sadie Spider’s mantra in the story. She is our resilient learner. As she builds her web, she expects to work hard and does not give up when things are tricky. She helps children to see what true determination to succeed looks like. With her determined little spirit, she teaches children the importance of effort and resilience.

Resilience is children’s ability to face challenges and cope with setbacks with a positive, hopeful outlook. It is the ability to ‘bounce back’ if something goes wrong and think of different strategies – showing true grit!

Printed on A4 landscape, Don’t Give Up, Sadie Spider is a beautifully illustrated adventure which will help your child develop perseverance. They will internalise Sadie’s mantra, ‘Try, try try,’ when they face a challenge and day by day, become a little more resilient.

Don’t Give Up Sadie Spider is one of eight stories which help your child to develop a growth mindset towards learning and life.

Use these stories and you feel the atmosphere in the classroom shift. Instead of managing behaviour constantly, we are developing and rewarding learning skills demonstrated throughout each day. Children do not distract others because they want to Concentrate like Cooper Crab. They are motivated and switched on because they want to beeelieve in themselves like Bobby Bee and like Sadie Spider they do not give up easily.

This learning approach is a god-send! Children are empowered to develop a growth mindset in a language they understand. The characters in the stories motivate them to LEARN HOW TO LEARN effectively.

We already have Bobby bee, Tommy turtle and Cooper crab, my 5 year old absolutely adores these books. We like them so much we’ve ordered 4 more. The quality of the books is amazing, easy to hold for both adults and children. The details in the pictures is so good, you can tell time and effort has gone into each one. We can wait for the next in the series to come out!

Orla was so excited when she received her new book bundle! The books were so bold and vibrant; she couldn't wait to see the pictures inside. We read, 'Don't give up, Sadie Spider' first. The story was engaging and carried a clear simple message of not giving up. It is clever how each book involved characters from other books in Cape Ability. I definitely recommend these books to read with your child.

I have 2 of these books and my daughter absolutely loves them. we have read them over and over!! can't recommend then highly enough x

The Cape Ability approach is a powerful tool for pupils and teachers alike and I will certainly be using it in my classroom

Our 4 year old has absolutely loved reading about the journeys of Cooper, Sadie & Bobby. He has 2 books at bedtime and he always chooses to have the Cape Ability book twice! We are very excited to meet the rest of the Cape Ability gang! 🕷🐝 🦀
