This weeks story is:
The Story Blanket, by Ferida:
Babba Zarrah lives in a tiny village in the snow-covered mountains. The children love to visit her. They settle down on her big, old story blanket and listen to her imaginative tales. One day Babba Zarrah notices that Nikolai needs new socks, but she has no yarn. Every question has an answer, Babba Zarrah tells herself, I just have to find it. After the children leave, she unravels part of her story blanket and knits him some nice warm socks.
Not long after that, the postman is surprised to find a scarf wrapped around his mailbag. The grocer mysteriously receives a shawl to keep her warm. On the woodpile outside the school is a pair of mittens for the schoolmaster. Meanwhile, the story blanket is getting smaller and smaller. When the villagers discover Babba Zarrah s secret, they decide to give her a surprise of her own.

This week's reading skill is: Print Motivation
Print Motivation is a child's interest in and enjoyment of books. Children who enjoy books and reading at an early age will read more and be interested in reading as they get older.
Develop your child’s print motivation by:
• Reading together often and making it fun
• Making sure you and your child are in good moods before reading
• Stopping the story when your child becomes tired or loses interest
• Modelling reading for pleasure by reading a book, magazine or newspaper that
you enjoy
