Brambly Hedge: Sea Story

Product Description

Brambly Hedge: Sea Story

Set sail downstream with Dusty, Poppy, Primrose, and Wilfred for an exciting seaside adventure!

For many generations, families of mice have made their homes in the roots and trunks of the trees in Brambly Hedge, a dense and tangled hedgerow that borders the field on the other side of the stream. The Brambly Hedge mice lead busy lives, collecting food from the Hedge and surrounding fields, and preparing delicious jams, pickles, and preserves that they keep safely for the winter months ahead. Although the mice work hard, they make time for fun, too. All through the year, they mark the seasons with feasts and festivities and welcome the opportunity to meet and celebrate.

Memoria Press literature guides, like from our Brambly Hedge Set, train students to become active readers. Our guides focus on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Each lesson includes a word study to help students build vocabulary. Equally important, comprehension questions teach students to think about what they have read and to identify the important content of each story. They also teach student to compose a clear, concise answer to a question, a difficult skill at any age.

Children who are asked to read slightly above their comfort level will develop into superior readers. Reading is not a passive activity for pleasure. Reading requires an active, discriminating mind that is challenged to think, compare, and contrast. Students who have first been challenged by good literature will never be satisfied with poor-quality books later.
