The Secret Garden | Reading & Activity Bundle

$12.99

Our adaptation retells The Secret Garden in 10 shorter, sequential chapters using clear, approachable language and a gentler pace. This large-print story and activity bundle is designed for older adults who may find the original novel too dense, the print too small, or the chapters too long for a comfortable sitting.

The Secret Garden follows Mary Lennox, a lonely young girl sent to live at her uncle's grand house on the Yorkshire moors. When she discovers a hidden, locked garden and slowly brings it back to life, she helps herself and those around her grow and heal along with it.

This bundle includes two editions, so you can choose the edition that fits the day. You can move between them as attention, energy, and support needs change.

Standard Edition (52 pages)
Fuller storytelling, story-inspired word activities, and reflection questions

Memory Care Edition (32 pages)
Shorter prose, simpler sentences, sensory detail, and low-pressure prompts for supported reading

What you receive

  • 2 printable PDF files, US Letter size, 8.5 × 11 inches

  • 16-point type with minimalist, clean design

Digital download only. No printed book or pages will be mailed.
