A decoding story beneath the dirt

Chip’s trip through the dirt to meet Irma gives young readers a simple story setting for practicing early reading skills. The decodable text highlights high-frequency words, vowel-sound discrimination, and the “ir” r-controlled vowel spelling. Full-color illustrations accompany the story, while comprehension questions, learning activities, audio, sight words, and educational material extend the book beyond the main text. A note for parents and educators and downloadable teacher notes offer additional support for shared or guided reading.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning readers practicing decodable text and vowel sounds
  • Children who enjoy illustrated stories about small creatures and outdoor play
  • Parents and educators seeking a story with accompanying learning activities
