The big ideaA tab holds one page, a window holds tabs, and tidy tabs are easy to find.
How it works
Each tab is one page, in a row. Only one tab is in front at a time: the page you see.
To switch pages, tap the tab you want, and it slides to the front.
To tidy up, close the tabs you do not need with the little x. Few tabs make a page easy to find.
If a page opens that you did not open, close it and tell a grown-up. You are never in trouble for a page that popped up.

Ravi kept three tabs for his report.Tidying your tabs.
Example 1: Switch pages
Look along the row of tabs.
Tap the tab you want.
It slides to the front, and that page is the one you see.
Example 2: Tidy the row
Ravi had a game, a spare video and extra pages open.
He closed the ones he did not need, with the little x.
He kept just three tabs, notes, pictures and report, all easy to read.
Example 3: A page you did not open
A page opens that you did not open.
Close it.
Tell a grown-up.
You are never in trouble for a page that popped up.
Example 4: A good habit
A grown-up can look at what is open any time.
That is a good habit.
Close a video when you finish it, before you open the next page.
Words to know
tab
One page, in a row of pages.
window
A frame for a page, which can hold many tabs.
the little x
The mark on a tab that closes it.
Watch out
A tab is not a whole computer. It holds one page.
Twelve tabs make a page hard to find, and the tabs are too tiny to read.
Close only the tabs you do not need, and keep the page you are reading and your notes.
A page that opened by itself is not your fault. Close it and tell a grown-up.

Try at homeWith a grown-up, look at the tabs and windows open on a computer. Switch to a tab by tapping it. Then close one you do not need with its little x. Ask your grown-up to look at what else is open.
For grown-upsWith your child, look at the tabs and windows open on a computer, switch between two tabs, and close one they do not need with its little x; say they can always ask you to look at what else is open.
