Mel Can! (VC CVC)
When the water rises and sweeps everything away, Mel clings tight to her toy giraffe Gus and refuses to let go. Can a kind helper named Jen keep her promise to find Mel’s mum and dad? And when Mel spots another lost child in the grass, will she be brave enough to help too? A warm, hopeful story about hanging on - and reaching out. This decodable reader practises VC/CVC short vowels in words like ‘Mel,’ ‘sad,’ ‘ran,’ ‘got,’ and ’nod.’
