Magic Tree House Key Stage 1
This key stage 1 English literature course uses books 1-4 of the ‘Magic Tree House’ series of adventure stories to teach English.
As well as covering the standard UK English language curriculum, these classes also include STEM teaching (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths), making the course even more interesting to kids!
Each book is quite short, and students will need to read 2 chapters for each class. This is a great curriculum for kids who enjoy reading, or need to improve their reading. As well as reading, students have writing and comprehension exercises, whilst also learning about topics such as history and geography.
