Charts for children
A chart for a child has one job that a chart for an adult does not: it has to survive being looked at every day for a year without becoming invisible. That rules out clutter, and it rules out decoration standing in for content.
What is here is the alphabets — English and Ukrainian, every letter, in the order the letters are actually taught, with the letterform large enough to be traced by eye from a bed.
Print A3 if the wall is more than a couple of metres from where the child sits; A4 if it goes above the desk itself. Both sizes come in the same download.
