Chad's Brick Tower

R-Blends Kindergarten – 1st Grade Blends & Digraphs
Chad's Brick Tower

Chad had a plan. He wanted to make a tall brick stack. Chad got one brick. He got two, then three bricks. But then, a brick fell with a crash! Chad did not want the bricks to drop. His kin, Dan, was in his crib. Dan grabbed a brick. Chad said, “Do not grab the brick!”

Chad pressed each brick down. He gripped each brick full. No bricks dropped. Chad got a brush. He got black ink. Chad made a frog on the top brick. Dan grinned from his crib. “A frog!” said Dan. Chad felt good.
