Tips for Parents and Carers

Encourage kids to move beyond reading texts literally to search for deeper meanings.
Ask questions such as:

• Why do you think the author wrote this book? Were they trying to get you to think about something or learn something?
• When this happened in the book, what did it show about the characters?
• Did the characters change from the start of the book to the end? What did they learn?
• What was the most important part of the book? Why? What did it show? How did it show that?

• Envelope
• Device with internet access
• Lined paper
• Writing pencil or pen
• Where Happiness Hides ebook
