Phase 3 · Book 4Focus str, spr, scr, spl; two closed syllables; mixed blends
Stan and Clare stop for a picnic. They sit on a rug by the long grass.
A gust of wind lifts a napkin. The wind flips the rug. Their cups tip over!
Stan holds the rug. Clare grabs the cups. The napkin lands by a plant.
Clare sprints to the napkin. She brings it back. “Let’s find a calm spot,” says Stan.
They spread the rug by a big rock. Stan puts a basket on its edge. Now their picnic can begin!
