Consequently, students find the material both enjoyable and easy to absorb. It is organized and expressed in such a way as to maximize attention and encourage motivation through fun, concrete activities that create positive learning experiences.

Novelty and prediction are consistently used as a means of arousing students' curiosity, making them active participants in the learning process. As a result, students buy into the concepts presented and quickly develop the practice of using these skills in their daily lives, the benefits of which are immediate and far-reaching.
