Audrey’s birthday is a few weeks away, and without thinking, she invites all her classmates to the huge party she’s going to throw—with a big cake, magic show, and performing animals. Oh no! What has she done? How is she going to pull this off? Maybe all it takes is a little imagination …

In The Birthday Party, the second book in the Oak Hill series, readers follow Audrey on her adventures while practicing and applying morphological knowledge with words that include the suffixes -ful and -less. This engaging upper-grade decodable blends authentic storytelling with meaningful morphology practice while strengthening vocabulary, comprehension, and background knowledge.
