Decodable — The Sibling Squabble

Use this decodable text to give students practice reading multisyllable words with magic 'e' (also known as silent 'e'), like suppose and explode. In this phonics pattern, there is an 'o', consonant, and final 'e'. The 'e' is silent and the vowel sound 'o' is long.
