SPIRE, Set 6A: A Tale of King Midas

In this famous Greek myth, the god Dionysus grants King Midas a wish, and the king wishes that everything he touches turns to gold. This "golden touch" makes Midas the most fortunate king in the world...or does it? This S.P.I.R.E.® Level 6 (spire) decodable reader is perfect for intermediate readers and those who need practice reading increasingly difficult text. This book includes words with multiple syllables (baby, tiny, open, tulip, music, even).
