Serial Mash
Serial Mash is a fantastic reading resource allowing children to access lots of e-books a chapter at a time. After completing a chapter of a book, there are a variety of quizzes to test their understanding of what they have read as well as fun follow up activities. Like everything in Purple Mash, activities don’t need to be set by a teacher for a pupil to access them and to en-
courage children to engage with these e-books, we would recommend you look through the available stories on Serial Mash and select a book that your child would be interested in rather than teachers setting the same book for every child. Have a go at reading 1 chapter every day and completing a couple of the extra challenges and quizzes linked with the chapter. We would
recommend Diamond and Emerald Books on Serial Mash. Serial Mash can be found on the homepage of Purple Mash. We hope you enjoy exploring the books together!
