The Monkey on My Back (Soft g)

Lily woke up with a pain so big it felt like a giant monkey clinging to her back, heavy and squeezing and impossible to shake off. Everywhere she went, the monkey came too - even when she tried picking tomatoes in the garden or practising her dance for the village art festival. But what happens when the festival is only three days away and the monkey just won’t let go? This decodable reader practises the soft g sound in words like ‘gentle,’ ‘huge,’ ‘village,’ and ‘magic.’
