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 Cave That Talked" by Jyoti Singh Visvanath.
In Jyoti Singh Visvanath's retelling of "The Cave That Talked: A Tale from the Panchatantra," a jackal tricks a hungry lion and avoids being eaten.
