The Boy Who Cried Wolf (The Decodables: Fables and Folktales)

What happens when you lie one too many times? It can lead to disaster! Readers will learn why telling the truth is important while they learn about the diphthongs oi and oy in this retelling of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Words with r controlled vowel patterns are also woven into the text for readers to practice from previous books in this series.

This decodable series offers illustrated retellings of nine classic fables and folktales. Some will be very familiar; others may be less so. All provide a great opportunity for students to dive into cumulative lessons that feature complex letter combinations along with opportunities for critical thinking. They will learn to recognize many r-controlled vowels, diphthongs, complicated vowel teams, the -le syllable, and a range of prefixes and suffixes while also considering some life lessons. Each book includes a glossary, a note to the caregiver, and a word list that is organized by Focus words, High-Frequency words, and Challenge words.
