Tag Tuition

The Creative Comprehension workbook cover.

Turning TAG’s classroom curriculum into a series of illustrated workbooks children could explore on their own.

TAG had years of exercises, ideas and teaching methods developed in the classroom. We wanted to keep what made those lessons special, but make them work without a teacher in the room.

Working with founder Amy and the teaching team, we expanded the brand and website to turn the curriculum into a series of 16-page workbooks built around making, drawing, decoding and discovery.

Learning by doing

All exercises, narrative and booklet structure was driven by lesson’s learn’t by staff in the classroom, we reimagined and even invented new activities tailored for self directed study such as:

Stories from the Constellations workbook cover.

Caterpillar, cocoon and moth workbook cover.

Different worlds, one system

I created a visual world for each series using original illustration, hand printed textures and graphic layouts, held together by a shared set of reusable components.

That system gave TAG a starting point for producing future books themselves, including the later scholarship and 11+ series.

The collection has since grown across astronomy, cryptology, archaeology, naturalism, metamorphosis and riddles and runes.

Available for hire; contact me for availability.

Open to founders and product teams who want help finding the version of the work that's worth committing to.
