Summary

Shan and Chet’s sandcastle building ends abruptly when a thunderstorm sweeps in. Readers will be challenged to blend new words using the th digraph while practicing words with previously taught sounds. Shan and Chet will be challenged to get home before the rainstorm completely soaks them. This book includes numerous words with initial and final th digraphs, including a few that will encourage the readers to begin to decode more complex words like thunder and Thursday.

Students will be excited to explore this series of decodable books for early readers. Recurring characters and familiar contexts such as home or a park are mixed with humor, action, and fun. Readers will cheer as Ben gets a new pet or Zack sees a whale. Each cumulative book is for readers just beginning to decode words. The books begin by introducing the short vowels one at a time within a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. Later books encourage the readers to incorporate consonant digraphs into their blending. Limited high-frequency words and supportive pictures help the reader successfully navigate the text while they practice essential decoding skills. Each title includes a note to the caregiver and a word list that is organized by Focus words, High-Frequency words, and Challenge words.
