Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "The Interlopers" by Saki.

"The Interlopers" is a tale about two bitter enemies that ends in an ironic twist of fate. 

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Friendship & Family as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

"What is a friend?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this short story at home:
    • What was "The Interlopers" about?
    • What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
  • Watch Video: Situational Irony Explained at home with your child.
