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.’
Tag
Steve is it, and Alex has vanished into a wide-open plains biome full of tall grass, old ruins, and a giant tree perfect for hiding behind. Can the self-proclaimed greatest seeker ever sniff her out? So far he has found a waggy dog, a grumpy cat, and a chicken stuck in a hole - but no Alex. Will Steve spot her before she sneaks to a new hiding spot? This decodable reader practices vowel team syllables in words like ‘being,’ ‘biome,’ ‘creates,’ and ‘quiet.’
Husks at Night
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wander across a sea of golden sand? Step into the Minecraft desert, where the sun blazes overhead and shimmering dunes stretch on forever. Where do husks and rabbits hide when the heat gets too fierce? What treasures lie buried beneath the sandstone, and what happens once the sun slips away? Discover a biome full of secrets waiting to be explored! This decodable reader practices the ‘igh’ phonogram in words such as ‘bright,’ ‘high,’ ’night,’ and ‘sight.’
Deep Green Trees
Step into the leafy world of Minecraft forests, where towering oaks and birches stretch high above your head! What creeps between the shadowy trunks when the sun goes down? Why do players need trees so badly, and what happens if we chop down too many in the real world? From gathering seeds to spotting mobs hiding in the green, this adventure shows why forests matter everywhere. This decodable reader practices the ’ee’ sound in words like ‘creep,’ ‘green,’ ’trees,’ ‘see,’ and ‘seeds.’
Sail East!
Dive in and sail east across the Minecraft world - have you ever wondered what lies beneath those endless blue waves? From warm seas where fish weave through kelp to bleak frozen chunks of ice, every ocean hides something different. Which mobs swim in peace, and which ones might be a threat? Can you help keep our real oceans healthy too? This decodable reader practices the ’ea’ phonogram in words like ‘beach,’ ‘clean,’ ‘heat,’ and ‘reach.’
