Max the cat needs a nap. But the rat has the mat, the bag has a ham, Dad has the pan — and the cap is Sam's cap! A funny, beautifully illustrated 32-page story where your beginning reader can sound out every single word themselves. The whole book uses only short-a words (cat, nap, mat, sat…) plus nine pre-taught heart words, so it slots into any systematic synthetic phonics program — UFLI, Little Learners, and classroom SSP sequences. Includes a decodable word list, three read-again activities, and a story that's actually fun on the tenth re-read. Printed on demand and shipped to your door.
