The Big Bet Jolly Phonics · Group 5: z /z/

Elephant thinks no one can take his waterhole, and he zaps any animal that comes near for a sip. But a calm tortoise has a plan, and challenges the giant to a strange bet: crack his shell by sundown, or share the water with everyone. Will a small, steady shell really be able to withstand an elephant’s full strength? Written for Jolly Phonics classrooms (Group 5: z /z/), this book practices words like ‘zaps’, ‘zest’, ‘zen’, ‘zigzags’, ‘jeez’.
