Support thoughtful reading of Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt, a novel following Ally, a creative thinker who hides her difficulties with reading behind disruptive behaviour. With the support of an understanding teacher and new friendships, Ally discovers that she has dyslexia and begins to recognise her strengths. The story invites readers to challenge assumptions about intelligence, value different ways of learning and consider how encouragement and acceptance can build confidence.

These comprehensive guided reading plans support teacher-led discussion through questions exploring comprehension, inference, language, text organisation and author’s purpose. Students are encouraged to draw on evidence, explain their thinking and consider different perspectives. Conscious communication questions explore characters’ feelings and needs, nurturing empathy and a compassionate classroom, while suggested response activities extend understanding and strengthen connections between reading and writing.

Themes explored: friendship, dyslexia and learning differences, self-esteem and self-acceptance, belonging and inclusion, kindness and empathy, bullying, courage, perseverance, creativity, supportive relationships, judging others, recognising strengths, asking for help.
