📖 Part 1: A Story About Friends

Read the story below. Look for words with long vowel sounds!
Jake and Rose Play Nice
Jake and Rose were best friends who liked to play together every day. One sunny afternoon, they decided to make a fort in Jake's backyard.
"Let's use these big leaves for the roof!" said Rose with a bright smile.
"Great idea!" Jake replied. "I'll get some rope to tie them down."
They worked as a team. Rose held the leaves while Jake climbed the tree to secure the rope. When Rose couldn't reach something high, Jake helped her. When Jake dropped his tools, Rose picked them up with a sweet giggle.
"This is so much fun!" Rose said as they sat in their finished fort, sharing a snack of fresh grapes and cold juice.
"Playing together always makes everything better," Jake agreed. They spent the rest of the afternoon reading stories in their cozy hideaway.
Author's Note: This story uses many long vowel sounds to help you practice reading! Long vowels say their letter names, like the 'a' in "play" and "day," the 'e' in "team" and "leaves," the 'i' in "smile" and "tie," the 'o' in "rope," and the 'u' in "juice." Can you find more?
