[ ♪♪♪ ]

Now that I can float and kick,

I should be able to swim, right?

Well, little duck,

After you learn to float and kick,

You have to learn to glide.

Just float, kick, then glide!

Float, kick, then glide!

[ Struggling/splashing ]

Aw, quackers!

I still can't swim.

It's okay, little duck.

No, it's not.

I don't want to do this anymore.

I don't want to float

Or kick or glide.

I quit!

Super readers: [ gasping ]

But you can't quit, little duck!

Oh yes, I can. Look.

It says so right here in my story.

See?

But if he quits

Then little duck will never learn to swim

Or go to the party.

What can we do?

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read

I can change this story and save the day!

Let's change the word "quits" in this sentence.

Let's zap it!

Ready, set, z-zap!

Why writer...

Which word should we use

So the little duck can learn to swim?

[ Reading ]

Float, kick,

And now the little duck won't quit!

He can float,

Kick and glide

Until he can swim like the other ducks.

I'm not going to quit!

I'm going to float, kick and glide

Over and over and over again

Until I am a real swimmer!
