[ Giggles ]

Let's read.

Why writer, highlight!

Read with me.

[ Giggling ]

Lots and lots of stories to write!

I'll write my first story

About my friend mary

And her little lamb.

"Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that mary went

The lamb was sure to...

Brush his teeth!"

[ "Wrong answer" buzzer ]

Ah, hmm.

Hmm...

That doesn't sound right.

[ Gasp ] just like I must find a word

That sounds right for my song!

And that, super readers,

Is why we are in this book.

Mother goose and red

Both need to figure out the right word.

To mother goose!

[ ♪♪ ]

[ Gasp ] there she is!

Hi, mother goose.

Ah! Ha, ha.

Well, I'll be a loosey goosey!

Hello!

Oh, super readers, I could use your help.

I'm having some trouble with my story

About mary and her little lamb.

I'll try again.

Oh! Oh, goodness me...

Where are my glasses?

They're on your head!

What? Oh, oh... [ Laughing ] on my head.

Okay, there we go.

[ Clears throat ]

"Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that mary went,

The lamb was sure to...

Juggle potatoes!" [ Buzzer ]

Huh? Uh-huh? Yeah...?

Oh...

Oh, goodness goose!

"Potatoes" doesn't sound like the right word.

Um, let me think here.

Um, what word sounds like "snow"?

"Stop", "look" or "go"?

Um...

"Go"! Oh, yes, yes!

That sounds right.

"Go", "snow".

"Snow", "go".

Oh, oh! "And everywhere that mary went,

The lamb was sure to... Go!"

[ Fanfare ]

Ah, ready, little lamb?

Go!

[ Bleat ] oh, dearie me.

How will I get him to go?

[ ♪♪ ]

Alpha pig to the rescue!

With my amazing alphabet tools,

I can find the letters in the word "go"

And help the lamb go.

Hmm...

Now, where's the letter "g"?

Ooh! Ooh, let me try it now!

"And everywhere that mary went,

The lamb was sure to... Go!"

Oh, my story is glorious!

Bye, mary!

Up the elephant! Chop-chop!

Ebenezer: [ squeaking ]

[ Angry squeaks ]

Oh dear. The word "elephant"

Doesn't sound right, does it?

[ Trumpeting ]

Maybe you need a word that sounds like "dock".

Hmm...

[ Gasp ] fantastic idea!

Oh, uh...

But I can't think of a word

That sounds like "dock". Hmm...

Princess presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand,

I can find a word that sounds like "dock"!

What word sounds like "dock"?

[ Gasp ] "clock" sounds like "dock"!

Let's spell "clock"

And make a clock appear!

Wands up!

Spell with me!

Hmm... What letter makes the sound "cuh-cuh-cuh"?

Children: "c"!

It can be "c" or "k".

[ Whispering ] but in the word "clock", it's a "c".

[ Giggling ] write a "c" with me!

Let's write uppercase letters.

[ Happy squeaking ]

What letter makes the sound "l-l-l"?

Children: "l"!

"L"!

Let's write an "l".

Hmm, what letter makes the sound "awww"?

Children: "o"!

"O"!

A big circle, like this.

And finally, what two letters

Make the sound "kuh-kuh-kuh" in "clock"?

Children: "c"! "K"!

Here, "c" and "k" together

Make the sound "kuh-kuh-kuh".

Let's write a "c"...

And a "k".

Presto!

[ Clock chiming ]

Spectacular spelling!

We spelled "clock"

And made a clock appear!

Let's take a bow.

"Clock", "dock".

"Dock", "clock".
