The Golden Acorn by Catherine Cooper

Download free ebook now ready for next term

Class 3’s class reader next term is “The Golden Acorn” by Catherine Cooper.

In order to continue our class reading sessions, each child will need a copy of the book. Usually we each have a copy of the book at school, but because we are working from home we will need to do this slightly differently!

On Amazon at the moment the book is available free as an ebook. Please could you download this as soon as possible so that it is ready and waiting for the new term? Please find instructions on how to download the Kindle Reading App for PC/laptop here:

If you prefer to, you can purchase a new paperback copy of the book at sites such as Amazon where it is selling for £8.99. Another option is a site such as World of books where there are second hand copies for £5.99. Do not feel obliged to have a paperback. The ebook is free.

Please email me to let me know when you have your copy of the text. If you have any difficulties, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
