Purple Mash Library

An online reading library that keeps learners coming back

A class reads the same story a chapter at a time, then talks and writes about what happens next. The Purple Mash Library, formerly Serial Mash, has more than 250 eBooks released in chapters, with comprehension and creative activities built around each one and reading records for teachers. It comes with the Plus and Premium Purple Mash plans, or on a licence of its own.

Who it is for: Grade 1 to Grade 7
