This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
Non-fiction Navigator provides guided Year 2 practice recognising explicitly contextualised storytelling and informational purposes, identifying non-fiction features from descriptions, locating listed starting pages and retrieving information directly stated in short passages. It offers partial support for topic 2709. It does not assess verification of real-world information, recognition of every feature from its visual presentation, independent research, inference beyond supplied evidence, sustained reading, every non-fiction genre or feature, independent writing or complete topic mastery. Stop while attention is still good. A short accurate return tomorrow is more useful than extending a tired session today.
Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.
Is it timed? Practice is untimed. Where a sprint exists it is optional. Times Tables Sprint also includes MTC-style independent practice, not an expected-standard judgement.
Can it be used on a phone? Yes. Buttons support touch and keyboard use; sorting always has a tap alternative to dragging.
