    Q1: i think he never knew the nersery ryme because his mam never told him it?
    Q2: i would help zero read and write even if i was sore you should always help people maybe zero could not read or write because he never went to the school?

    I think it because he can’t read.
    Yes I think so.

    1. I think Zero did not know the nursary rhyme because hes mam or dad may not have been helpful when he was small to tell or show him.

    2. Yes I would teach Zero how to read because he obviously had no one around to teach him how to read, or listen to stories by. Even if it was five minutes each day.

    1- I think the reason Zero didn’t know the nursery rime was because he had been there too long so he may have forgotten or his mam didn’t tell him.
    2- I would probably teach him how to read and wright because he sounds very determined to learn how to read and wright.

    1. I think Zero didn’t know the rhyme because maybe his mom and dad never told him it.

    2.If I was Stanley I would teach Zero a bit everyday and if he got good id teach him how to write.

  7. Luke

    I think he doesn’t know the nursery rhyme because he has no family to teach him and he couldn’t read.

    If i was Stanley I would teach Zero to read so he could prove to all the people that make fun of him that he is not stupid.

    1. I think Zero didn’t know because at the end of the story Zero said not to write just to read, maybe he didn’t have a Mam or dad. That is why he didn’t know the nursery.
    2. Yes, I would teach Zero to read even if I was really really tired 💤 after digging big holes 🕳.

    Qu: In your opinion, why do you think Zero didn’t know the nursery rhyme ‘Old Woman who lived in a Shoe’?
    Ans: I think Zero was very poor and maybe didn’t have a tv growing up. He also doesn’t know how to read so would never have read the nursery rhyme.
    Qu: Imagine that you are very very tired every evening after digging all day. If you were in Stanley’s shoes, would you teach Zero how to read?
    Ans: I would help Zero to learn how to read but only for 10 minutes each evening maybe. I think he is asking for help so it is nice to be able to help others.
