Description:

The Fort is a decodable with the focus skill of words with r-contrlled vowels (-ar). 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 Fort, Norma and Ford decide to build a fort in the forest and get to work collecting sticks and building a platform. After a few challenges, like tripping on thorns and a ripped blanket, they finally finish their fort with sticks and make a cozy spot to rest. Happy with their hard work, they relax inside and agree that it's the best fort ever.
