In this interactive book club, we will join four children who embark on exciting adventures in an enchanted wood with a magical tree. In each lesson, we will discuss 5 chapters from the book, The Magic Faraway Tree. It is important that independent reading takes place before we meet so that everyone can take part in the lesson. We will look at inferencing, comprehension and vocabulary. We will analyze characters, discuss the adventures and share our opinions about each magical land that is visited by the children in the novel. We will also discuss our favourite phrases or sentences from the famous novel and take a deeper look at the way the author, Enid Blyton describes a setting or a character. This is a social club and the purpose is not only to gain a deeper understanding of the novel- but also to have fun and meet other children who can appreciate the joy and imagination created by this classic novel.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Carlin King. I am a Year 1 teacher living and working in the United Kingdom. I have been a primary school teacher for more than ten years and love being part of the formative years. I have been trained in a number of different phonetic programmes including RWInc (Read, Write Inc).
My greatest passion is teaching children to read and write. As a child, I loved to write stories. I found it came naturally to me as I was a total book worm. However, as a teacher, I have seen that many children struggle with creativity, vocabulary and sentence structure when it comes to their writing. When children have both a writing model and an interest in the subject matter - that is when creative writing takes shape. Engaging and exciting themes, fun and well-written books and fascinating historical events and characters are just some of the subjects I like to use in my writing lessons. These classes will be for primary school children roughly between the ages of 5-8. Basic phonetic knowledge needs to be there as we can then sound out and build sentences together.
I am a firm believer in teaching phonics when it comes to fluent and confident reading. I have been teaching children to read throughout my teaching career and have had many experiences in different phonetic programmes. I decided to create my own phonic reading scheme, using what I know works, and make it engaging and exciting for children.
I believe teaching is about having fun and allowing children to get emersed in a subject. As a teacher, I strive to be a guide - allowing children to let their interest and curiosity drive their learning. As a child, I loved school and was privileged to go to more than one school as I spent my childhood living in different parts of Africa. I was born in Nambia and then moved to Ghana when I was nine years old. As a teenager, I attended a wonderful boarding school in South Africa. I now live in England with my husband and two gorgeous babies.
