The door at the foot of the tree

The door at the foot of the tree is a fictional story about a young girl who runs away into the forest and meets some unlikely inhabitants. The book contains interweaving storylines and is told through three different voices: the narrator the characters and the author herself. Throughout the book the recommended Year 5 and Year 6 SATs spelling words are used and highlighted in bold. This will give the children a chance to experience reading these words in context allowing them to commit these to their permanent vocabulary more easily. The book demonstrates the wide range of vocabulary punctuation and grammatical techniques that are expected to be known by Year 6 children. The vocabulary used is challenging in places such as the use of idioms with the aim of introducing the reader to many new words and phrases that they may not have come into contact with otherwise.
