When the kids go home… class is just getting started.

n

Every night when the lights click off in Room 5, the school supplies wake up.

n

Pen (confident, a little extra), Pencil (brave, erasable, and proud of it),

n

Chunk the eraser (the wise one), and Glue (stuck to everything) call themselves

n

the Night Shift.

n

But tonight there’s a problem: Pencil got swept into a kid’s backpack by

n

mistake — and the only way to bring him home is to READ the clue the kid

n

left behind.

n

There’s just one issue. The Night Shift can’t read.

n

Yet.

n

Sound it. Tap it. Write it. READ IT! Kids tap along with the crew as they

n

sound out their first word — and discover that making mistakes is exactly

n

how reading works. (Just ask Pencil. Being erasable means you always get

n

to try again.)

n

Why parents and teachers love Room 5 After School:

n

? Built on the Science of Reading — the tap-and-blend method on these pages

n

is the same Elkonin sound-mapping technique used in K–1 classrooms nationwide

n

? Four learning points woven into the story: letter sounds, CVC blending,

n

the sight word “the,” and rhyming word families (cat / hat / sat)

n

? A “Your Turn!” practice page so new readers use the method themselves

n

? Discussion questions and Common Core alignment (RF.K.2, RF.K.3, RF.1.2,

n

RF.1.3) included for educators

n

? Genuinely funny — written to be re-read, because re-reading builds fluency

n

Book 1 of the Room 5 After School series. The crew sounds out their first

n

word tonight… and there’s a whole classroom of words waiting.

n

School’s out. Class is in session.
