Ken and the Dark Pond (VCC CVCC)
What lurks in the middle of the misty pond? When Ken and his friend row out to explore, every shadow looks like trouble - a jagged shape with glowing eyes, a giant fish gliding below, and something with sharp teeth rising from the water! Can two brave paddlers make it back to land, or will the pond’s strange secrets catch them first? Grab an oar and find out! This decodable reader builds VCC and CVCC blends through words like ‘pond,’ ‘mist,’ ‘fast,’ ’land,’ and ’next.’
