Adventure Books for 2nd Graders
Don't Stop, Tim!
Tim is the world’s worst bird at not stopping. Show him a butterfly, a shiny bug, or a pretty cloud, and off he drifts into another daydream - while his flock zooms away without him! Now night is falling, Bird Catchers are creeping through the wildflowers, and Tim is all alone. Can one very distractible little bird keep his eyes on the sky until sunrise? This decodable reader practices compound words such as ‘daydream,’ ‘firefly,’ ‘sunshine,’ ‘without,’ and ‘daybreak.’
It Won't Stay Down!
The bravest explorer in the whole world has found a village under the full moon - but something is very wrong. The huts are dark, the golem is cracked and tangled in vines, and a see-through cat is watching every move. Where did all the villagers go? And what happens when a defeated zombie simply will not stay down? This decodable reader practices prefixes in words like ‘inspect,’ ‘unpack,’ ‘retreat,’ and ‘return.’
Zombies in the Cave!
Two wandering villagers have drifted too deep into the cave - and now something is moving in the shadows! When zombies lunge from the dark and turn the villagers green, can a shimmery purple potion save them before it’s too late? Will the cure reach them in time, or will the villagers stay lost forever? This decodable reader practices es plurals in words like ‘boxes,’ ‘fizzes,’ ‘splashes,’ and ‘riches.’
Steve Digs Deep!
Steve dug too deep, and now something is flapping right behind him in the dark! Can he outrun the screeching bats, leap across a pit, and hide in water so still that nothing hears a peep? With his pickaxe swinging and his armor rattling, this brave miner is in for the chase of his life - but what waits beyond the cave? This decodable reader practices the ’ee’ sound in words like ‘deep,’ ‘feet,’ ‘flee,’ ‘green,’ and ’trees.’
