Why read Trouble at the Fair with your child
This is a second-grade decodable, so it reads like a real little chapter, with longer sentences and a friendship at the center. Air words like fair, chair, stairs, and pair appear all through the story, which gives your child steady practice. Pause when the ride stops and ask how Claire feels, and what a good friend can do. The fair setting makes practice feel like a treat.

Inside the book
Claire and her friend Maisy head to the fair for rides, games, and sweet treats. Maisy uses a wheelchair, and the fair has flat paths, ramps, and a van with a chair lift. The Ferris wheel is the tallest ride there, and the girls want to see everything from the top.
Children practice the air pattern in one- and two-syllable words, with blends, digraphs, and first- and second-grade sight words. The story is longer, the friendship feels real, and the fair keeps the pages turning.
From the book: “We can see the whole fair from here!”
