Parent Guide > The Storyteller
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 Storyteller" by Saki.
In this short tale by the witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre storyteller Saki, a man tells some children a dark, but realistic story in which being good does not pay off.
As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Morality as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :
