The Door In The Tree

It is spring and William, Mary and Alice Constant have returned to Golden House for the Easter holidays, anxious to see if the magic will work again. When they are drawn to the Magician's hideout, through a door in a tree, they learn that the secret to magic is believing; and through believing they can enter the magic and continue their great task.

The door at the foot of the tree is a fictional story about a young girl who runs away into the forest and meets some unlikely inhabitants. The book contains interweaving storylines and is told through three different voices: the narrator, the characters and the author herself. Throughout the book, the recommended Year 5 and Year 6 SATs spelling words are used and highlighted in bold. This will give the children a chance to experience reading these words in context, allowing them to commit these to their permanent vocabulary more easily. The book demonstrates the wide range of vocabulary, punctuation and grammatical techniques that are expected to be known by Year 6 children. The vocabulary used is challenging in places, such as the use of idioms, with the aim of introducing the reader to many new words and phrases that they may not have come into contact with otherwise.

Repetitive, predictable story lines and illustrations that match the text provide maximum support to the emergent reader. Engaging stories promote reading comprehension, and easy and fun activities on the inside back covers extend learning. Great for Reading First, Fluency, Vocabulary, Text Comprehension, and ESL/ELL!
