Smoke in the Grove

By Lee Courtney

People who live in Cape Cave know there is more to their cozy coastal town than meets the eye. A nearby magical cave is full of secrets, and sometimes those secrets spill out. When a dragon escapes the cave, it's up to Eve and Sage to save the day. Can the friends send the dragon back where it belongs? As the adventure unfolds, striving readers practice decoding words featuring long vowels formed by CVCe and CCVCe spellings, as well as inflectional verb endings -ed and -ing. Every Spark Decodables book serves older readers who need practice with foundational literacy skills, combining multiple aspects of the Science of Reading to support small group instruction, independent reading, and reading practice at home.
