A Hen in the Dark (VCC CVCC)
Alex had one simple plan - finish the house, mine some diamonds, have a normal afternoon. So why is there a bed on the roof? And a pig in the cave? A chicken clucking in the dark, a fish jammed in a tree, a witch stuck to the ground - has the whole world gone wobbly, or is Alex’s Minecraft truly, completely broken? This decodable reader practises VCC/CVCC words such as ‘damp,’ ‘dark,’ ‘fast,’ ‘help,’ and ‘went.’
