Description:

The Commute is a decodable with the focus skill of words with final e (u_e and e_e patterns). This title was specifically designed to support older students as they develop foundational English reading skills, as it emphasize the domains of language development (listening, speaking, reading, writing) with an emphasis on cognates and vocabulary. In The Commute, Bruce travels with his mom to her job and learns what a commute is. To make the long ride more exciting, Bruce imagines all kinds of fun ways to get to school, like using a giant slide, a zip line, or even a cute mule named Duke. His creative ideas make the trip fun, and he shares them with his mom, making her smile too.
