Decodable — One Big Bath

Use this decodable text to give students practice in reading closed-syllable words with the digraph 'th'. For example, in the word bath, the two letters 't' and 'h' form one grapheme that represents the /th/ sound. To skillfully read this text, students should already know how to read closed-syllable words with all vowel sounds.
