We have been reading ‘The Enchanted Wood’ by Enid Blyton in class and the children are really enjoying it.  It is such a magical story.    Please ask your child about the main events of the story and the characters we have met so far.

I would really appreciate it this year if when we are focusing on a novel in class that children don’t also buy it to read at home at the same time.  The reason being we do a lot of prediction and literacy skills alongside the book in class and it can make it difficult if children have read on ahead.

I encourage reading at home as much as possible so if your child is really enjoying the book and would like to read more at home I suggest finding other books by the same author.

Happy reading!
