This book is about an angry crab who puts ham and jam on a mouse trap. He ends up catching a rat, and the rat is not happy about it!
This is an easy to read decodable text. The focus of this text is the short a sound. There are also sight words such as the as well as and. Finally, the text uses some consonant blends, especially tr and cr.

I like how at the end there are questions for the reader, such as "what are other words that rhyme with ham?"
I would give this book a 5 out of 5 for decodable texts. The pictures are great and the sentences are easy while still focusing on the sounds.
The short 'a' sound seems really fun to read. I had fun reading the description. I can see a child really enjoying themselves learning to decode with this title.
ReplyDeleteThe illustrations and colors in these decodables seem to be a little higher quality than some of the other decodables we looked at in class.
