Parent Guide > The Third Wish
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 Third Wish" by Joan Aiken.
In "The Third Wish," Joan Aiken tells the story of a man who asks for three wishes after rescuing the King of the Forest.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How are we changed by love?" and "How do we view nature?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this short story at home:
- What was "The Third Wish" about?
- What did you learn about Human vs. Nature?
- What did you learn about Love?
- Watch The Three Wishes - Fairy Tale Kids Book Read Aloud - Bedtime Stories for Kids - Storytime for Kids at home with your child.
