Frequently Asked Questions
**+ What ages are Dekko for? **
They cover the KS2 Curriculum ~ so late Primary School, early Secondary School.
Dekko Products are best suited for ages 9-12, but have been used and enjoyed by ages 8-14 and sometimes older/younger.
Glasgow University Tutors have even recommended the comics as valuable refresher material for pupils going on to University.
**+ What subjects do the comics cover? **
Maths, English, History, Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French, German and PSE/PSHE.
If you would like to see more subjects in the comics, do get in touch. You can commission Dekko Comics to make any comic (or poster) you like based on a particular subject.
**+ Will these comics get my children into reading? **
Yes, we are very confident of that. Dekko Comics regularly receive emails from parents and teachers telling us how Dekko Comics have helped to develop their children reading for pleasure - often enthusiastically so!
Comics are being used more in school libraries to support pupils in developing a love of reading. Typically, we discover reading through picture books from an early age and often the removal of images as readerds develop can have a negative impact. By providing something visually engaging, comics can help to re-establish a positive connection with reading.
**+ Will there be Subject-specific compilations of the comics? **
Yes! Moving forward we hope to provide compilations of our more popular subjects, particularly Dekko's Maths and English comics.
Additional subject-compilations may develop as our catalogue of material grows, but currently Maths and English are the most frequently covered subjects in our comics (largely due to demand).
