Why a story makes the hard bits sayable

Some ideas are hard to say out loud when you are five, six or seven. Through a character, they become sayable. A child who cannot yet explain their own worry can tell you exactly why Willow feels wobbly at the edge of the clearing — and that is where the conversation starts.

Supports story-led discussion across reading, vocabulary, speaking and listening, feelings and relationships, and animal and nature discovery.

The twelve-story journey

Every story is a whole class read with somewhere to go afterwards. Tap any cover to see the themes and where the conversation can lead.

In the classroom

Four examples of how a Wild Forest story becomes a conversation the whole class can join.

Willow — feeling unsure

Willow hangs back when something is unfamiliar. Children who find new situations hard recognise her instantly, which makes it far easier to talk about the wobbly feeling before a trip, a new class or an assembly.

Meet Fern the Deer

Clover — a first friendship

Clover is working out how to join in. Useful for early social confidence talk: how do you ask? What do you do if the answer is not yet? What does a kind reply sound like?

Meet Clover the Rabbit

Ember — curiosity and choices

Ember wants to know how everything works, which sometimes leads somewhere tricky. A gentle route into thinking-before-doing and being honest afterwards.

Meet Pip the Fox

The discovery layer

After the story, the class meets the real animal: how it lives, moves, eats and communicates. Story vocabulary and nature vocabulary land in the same lesson.

Meet Mango the Monkey

The classroom-to-home bridge

With School + Home, the story a class shares on Tuesday morning can be read again that evening with a grown-up. Families get the same characters, the same feelings and the same conversation prompts the teacher used, so the talking carries on without anyone needing a worksheet.

School + Home is $1,995 a year for up to 300 pupils.

Safe by design

  • School and administrator access is held by staff, not children.
  • Home access, where licensed, sits on a parent or guardian account.
  • We never ask a child for an email address, date of birth or photo.
  • No public profiles, no social feed, no messaging, no leaderboards.
  • No advertising anywhere in the reading experience.
  • Classroom use is licensed to the named school and its pupil cap.
