Lost in the Dust (juyv)

Rooster has rules, a proud chest, and a crow loud enough to wake the stars - but what happens when his farmer leaves him all alone on a dusty street corner? Cold, hungry, and chased from every doorstep, Rooster is sure he doesn’t need anyone. Then a kind man and his wife offer him corn and a cozy home. Could this scruffy bird finally belong somewhere? This decodable reader practises short u with j, v, y in words like ‘jump,’ ‘dust,’ ‘yelps,’ and ‘cuff.’
