Parent as Helper-Guide Term borrowed from Eisenberg & Berkowitz from
“Big6”

necessary
•Not to lead or partner the child
•Give the child space to develop his own
solutions
•Ask questions to help the child arrive at
solutions

S.U.R.E.
Source. Understand.
Evaluate. Research.
Body copy minimum 12pt flush left 65% black.
Other half of area can be occupied by image,
charts, headline or information.
Body copy can be placed anywhere within the
slide space. However, as a rule of thumb, always
keep the slide clean and simple as possible.
• Ensure that headline message is clear.
• Ensure that message is not blocked by the icons
or clouds.
• However, a clean and a clear slide frame is
recommended.
• Flush left for bullet point is recommended as
flushing it right making the body copy looking
awkward.
