[Music]

funding for Barney and Friends has been

made possible in part by a grant from

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting

and financial support by viewers like

you

the party is a dinosaur from our

imagination

Barney's friends are big and small they

come from lots of places

[Music]

whenever we may need him

the Fox Run Away it never came back so

the bunny lived happily ever after is it

the force beautiful the pictures are all

pretty but I want to be able to read all

the words like Derek and Tina can my

brother could read stories when he was

my age I wish I could read like that

right now me too you'll be reading soon

man looking at pictures and learning

your ABCs is part of learning cow uh-huh

because we use letters of the alphabet

to spell different words like like Dad

d-a-d Dad you're smart Tina I want to be

in a spelling bee someday that's a game

to see who can spell the most words

right

hi everybody

[Music]

hey who knows what we can do today

know what we could do today we'll teach

Minnie Kathy how to read a word and

we'll have fun with alphabet letters at

the same time oh Getty what word will

you teach us to read Derek it's a

surprise mystery word they're all right

out of the chalkboard a later at a time

we'll see who can guess the word first

that sounds like fun and while we're

trying to guess your word maybe we can

do something special with each of its

letters so men and Kathy can learn them

better

that's a wonderful idea Tina what's

letter in your in your Midwood Derek

tell us

the first letter is a capital B what the

capital B see the alphabet letters on

the wall the Big B shaped like the one

Derek just made is a capital B the

smaller being next to it is lowercase

what can we do that's fun with the

letter B

back Barney well since Derek's mystery

word starts with the letter B I filled

these bags with things that begin to be

so when each of you reaches inside

us some hints and we'll try to guess

what it is
