Thirsty Tortoise Jolly Phonics · Step 2, Unit 11: er, ir, ur as in her, bird, turn
Elephant guards the last waterhole in the dry, dusty veld, spraying every thirsty creature that dares come near. A small tortoise sits watching in the dirt, thinking hard, then makes a bold offer: if Elephant can crack her shell by sundown, she’ll leave forever, but if not, every animal gets to drink. Can a calm, curled-up shell really outlast an elephant’s fury? Written for Jolly Phonics classrooms (Step 2, Unit 11: er, ir, ur as in her, bird, turn), this book practices words like ’thirsty’, ‘churns’, ‘curls’, ‘dirty’, ‘stirs’.
