Description:

The Gum Hut is a decodable with the focus skill of blending letters together to form words (consonant-vowel-consonant CVC) with the short u sound. 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. The Gum Hut is about a fun family trip to a candy shop filled with tubs of gum, where Liz and Bud get to pick their favorite gum balls and treats. As they lug their bags of gum onto the bus, they enjoy the sweet adventure together. Kids will practice reading short "u" CVC words like "gum," "tub," "bus," "lug," and "fun."
