THE PUPPY AND THE PAINT.

GRACE, LOOK AT THE STORY.

OF COURSE.

SUPER LEARNERS, LET'’S READ.

GREAT.

LET'’S SEE... WHAT DOES THE PUPPY LIKE TO DO?

WHILE IT'’S PLAYING, WE MOVE, AND WHEN IT STOPS, YOU STOP.

READY?

[tambourine playing] [sound stops] ♪ ♪ [sound stops] ♪ ♪ [sound stops] VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

WE FEEL REENERGIZED!

WE FEEL GREAT, SO LET'’S CONTINUE.

LET'’S LOOK HERE AT THE LIST WE MADE OF THE THINGS THAT PUPPY PAINTED.

READ WITH ME.

"FLOR."

VERY GOOD.

"FLOR," "MUÑECA"... AND "GATO."

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

NOW, LET'’S PLAY WITH THE SOUNDS OF THE WORDS.

BUT, FIRST, WE'’LL COUNT THE SYLLABLES.

SO, WE'’LL FIND WORDS THAT RHYME.

LET'’S START WITH THE SYLLABLES.

A SYLLABLE IS PART OF A WORD, WITH A VOWEL.

LET'’S COUNT HOW MANY SYLLABLES EACH WORD HAS.

TO DO THAT, WE HAVE TO CLAP WHILE WE SAY THE WORD.

GOT IT?

LET'’S BEGIN.

OKAY, SUPER LEARNERS, ARE YOU READY?

HOW MANY SYLLABLES ARE THERE IN EACH WORD?

NOW, CLAP WITH ME.

"FLOR."

VERY GOOD.

NOW SHOW YOUR FRIEND, AND CLAP THE NUMBER OF SYLLABLES IN "FLOR."

[clap] DID YOU CLAP ONE TIME?

VERY GOOD!

GOOD WORK.

NOW, LET'’S CONTINUE WITH "MUÑECA."

MU-ÑE-CA.

HOW MANY SYLLABLES?

VERY GOOD, 3 SOUNDS.

NOW, CLAP WITH ME.

MU-ÑE-CA.

NOW SHOW YOUR FRIEND, AND CLAP THE NUMBER OF SYLLABLES IN "MU-ÑE-CA."

DID YOU CLAP 3 TIMES?

GOOD JOB!

LET'’S CONTINUE WITH "GA-TO."

HOW MANY SOUNDS DO YOU HEAR?

VERY GOOD, 2 SOUNDS.

NOW, CLAP WITH ME.

GA-TO.

NOW, SHOW YOUR FRIEND, AND CLAP THE NUMBER OF SYLLABLES IN "GA-TO."

DID YOU CLAP 2 TIMES?

VERY GOOD!

WE CAN KEEP GOING.

SO, TELL YOUR STUFFIE WHICH IS THE LONGEST WORD.

I'’M LISTENING.

YES, "MUÑECA" IS THE LONGEST WORD.

AND WHY?

GOOD JOB.

CORRECT.

BECAUSE IT HAS 3 SYLLABLES, 3 SOUNDS.

NOW, SUPER LEARNERS, WHICH IS THE SHORTEST WORD?

YES!

"FLOR" IS THE SHORTEST WORD.

AND WHY?

VERY GOOD.

BECAUSE IT HAS 1 SYLLABLE.

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

AND TO FINISH, WE'’RE GOING TO LOOK FOR A WORD THAT RHYMES WITH "FLOR," WITH "MUÑECA," AND WITH "GATO."

REMEMBER, WORDS THAT RHYME END IN THE SAME SOUNDS.

TELL YOUR FRIEND ABOUT RHYMING WORDS.

WORDS THAT RHYME...

RIGHT, END IN THE SAME SOUNDS.

EXCELLENT, SUPER LEARNERS.

HOW FUN!

NOW, SUPER LEARNERS, LET'’S LISTEN CAREFULLY.

OKAY, SUPER LEARNERS.

HERE IS "FLOR."

BUT WE HAVE 3 MORE WORDS.

WE HAVE "CUCHARA" (SPOON)... "PELOTA" (BALL)... AND "COLOR."

AND "COLOR."

WHICH WORD RHYMES WITH "FLOR"?

TELL YOUR FRIEND.

MMM... YOU THINK SO?

CUCHARA, PELOTA, COLOR.

WORDS THAT END IN THE SAME SOUND.

WHICH ONE IS IT?

VERY GOOD.

FLOR, COLOR.

WHY, SUPER LEARNERS?

BECAUSE THEY END IN THE SAME SOUND.

"OR."

AND WHY NOT "PELOTA"?

COLOR, PELOTA?

DO THEY END IN THE SAME SOUND?

NO.

FLOR, CUCHARA?

TELL YOUR FRIEND THESE WORDS.

DO THEY END IN THE SAME SOUNDS?

NO.

BUT TELL YOUR FRIEND WHAT WORD ENDED IN THE SAME SOUND AS "FLOR."

VERY GOOD, COLOR.

THEY BOTH END IN "OR."

REPEAT IT TO YOUR FRIEND.

FLOR, COLOR.

THEY BOTH END IN... "OR," VERY GOOD.

SUPER LEARNERS, THE NEXT WORD IS "MUÑECA."

AND THE 3 WORDS THAT WE HAVE ARE: "SILLA" (CHAIR), "VELA" (CANDLE), AND "PANQUECA" (PANCAKE).

LISTEN CAREFULLY.

WHAT WORD RHYMES WITH "MUÑECA"?

MUÑECA, SILLA?

TELL YOUR FRIEND.

NO, CERTAINLY NOT.

NOW, LET'’S LOOK AT ANOTHER.

MUÑECA, VELA?

TELL YOUR FRIEND.

DO THEY RHYME?

NO.

AND MUÑECA, PANQUECA?

YES!

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

THEY RHYME.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

GOOD.

THEY END IN "ECA."

MUÑECA, PANQUECA.

REPEAT IT TO YOUR FRIEND.

VERY GOOD.

MUÑECA, PANQUECA.

BOTH END IN "ECA."

AND LASTLY, WHAT WORD RHYMES WITH "GATO"?

WE HAVE "ZAPATO" (SHOE), "PERRO" (DOG), AND "PAN" (BREAD).

TELL YOUR FRIEND WHICH WORD RHYMES WITH "GATO."

GATO, PAN?

NO!

VERY GOOD.

GATO, PERRO?

NO, VERY GOOD.

GATO, ZAPATO?

YES!

BECAUSE BOTH END IN "ATO."

GATO, ZAPATO.

VERY GOOD, SUPER LEARNERS.

LET'’S CHECK WITH OUR FRIEND KIRA TO SEE IF WE COMPLETED TODAY'’S MISSION.

TODAY'’S MISSION... [gasps] VERY GOOD!

WE DID IT!

THANKS TO YOU, SUPER LEARNERS, WE FOUND WORDS THAT RHYME.

NOW, LET'’S REVIEW.

WE RECOGNIZED THE LETTER "F," WE RECOGNIZED THE LETTER "M," AND WE RECOGNIZED THE LETTER "G." AND THEIR SOUNDS, TOO.

WE COUNTED SYLLABLES IN WORDS, AND WE FOUND WORDS THAT RHYME.

THANK YOU, SUPER LEARNERS, FOR FOLLOWING TODAY'’S CHALLENGE WITH US.

THANK YOU, TOO, KIRA.

[meow] [both] AND REMEMBER THAT IN ORDER TO READ, WE HAVE TO LEARN OUR LETTERS AND SOUNDS.

¡ADIÓS!

BYE!

HEY, EVERYBODY.

THAT WAS AWESOME.

I BET YOU KNOW SOMETHING NOW THAT YOU DIDN'’T KNOW YESTERDAY.

WHEN YOU USE YOUR BEAUTIFUL BRAIN, IT HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.

JUST LIKE EATING YOUR VEGGIES HELPS YOU GROW STRONG, PRACTICING YOUR READING HELPS YOUR BRAIN GET BIG AND STRONG TOO.

[popping sounds] ♪ ♪ ONCE UPON A TIME, AN IMAGIFRIEND SAT IN HIS BED LATE AT NIGHT, FEELING WORRIED AND SCARED.

HE HAD AN UNEASY FEELING ALL DAY, AND HE COULDN'’T SLEEP WELL.

SUDDENLY, HE LOOKED TO THE NIGHT SKY FROM HIS WINDOW AND SAW LUCIA FLYING OVER HIM WITH ALL OF HER MAGNIFICENT COLORS.

WITH THE SIGHT OF HER, HE BECAME INSTANTLY CALM.

HE WAVED AT LUCIA FROM HIS WINDOW, AND LUCIA SMILED AND WINKED AT HIM, JUST BEFORE DISAPPEARING INTO THE NIGHT SKY.

WHEN YOU LIVE CAREFREE, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT, AND THAT'’S WHERE YOU CAN FIND LUCIA.

ALRIGHT, GET READY FOR A SUPER COOL LITERACY LESSON.

"LITERACY" MEANS READING, AND WE'’RE GONNA LEARN ALL ABOUT READING SOUNDS, WORDS, AND SENTENCES.

DID YOU KNOW, WITHOUT READING, YOU WOULDN'’T KNOW WHAT STREET YOU LIVE ON?

HOW WOULD YOU EVEN GET THE MAIL?

WELL, GET READY, '’CAUSE WE'’RE GONNA GET STARTED RIGHT NOW.

♪ ♪ HELLO, READERS.

MY NAME IS MS. JILL.

I'’M SO EXCITED TO BE LEARNING WITH YOU TODAY.

LET'’S GET STARTED WITH OUR WELCOME SONG.

[singing] WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE SUPER READERS TODAY.

I HAVE MY CAPE, AND IF YOU HAVE A CAPE OR YOU WANT TO MAKE ONE OUT OF SOMETHING YOU HAVE AT HOME, YOU CAN PUT THAT ON NOW.

SUPER READERS, TODAY, WE'’RE LEARNING ABOUT SOME CONSONANT BLENDS, OR 2 CONSONANTS THAT GO SIDE BY SIDE WITHIN A SYLLABLE.

REMEMBER, WITH CONSONANT BLENDS, WE PRONOUNCE THE SOUNDS OF BOTH LETTERS BUT BLEND THEM SMOOTHLY TOGETHER.

THE CONSONANT BLENDS WE SUPER READERS ARE TAKING ON TODAY ALL INCLUDE THE SAME LETTER.

"L"!

JUST LIKE A SUPERHERO WORKS TOGETHER WITH OTHER HEROES, THE CONSONANT "L" WORKS SIDE BY SIDE WITH OTHER CONSONANTS TO MAKE WORDS.

WE'’LL LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR "L" BLENDS TODAY, TO HELP US BECOME EVEN MORE SUPER READERS.

TODAY, WE'’RE ALSO GOING TO LEARN SOME HEART WORDS.

"HEART WORDS" ARE WORDS THAT CONTAIN 1 OR MORE SOUNDS THAT ARE SPELLED DIFFERENTLY THAN USUAL.

SINCE THOSE ARE A LITTLE TRICKIER TO LEARN, WE PRACTICE THEM AND CALL THEM "HEART WORDS."

WITH PRACTICE, ANY WORD CAN BECOME A HEART WORD.

BUT THESE WORDS ARE A LITTLE BIT TRICKY TO READ, SO, WE'’LL PRACTICE TOGETHER.

FIRST, LET'’S TALK ABOUT THE WORD "WHO," AS IN, "WHO LIKES TO EAT CANDY?"

WE HAVE TO LEARN TO SPELL THE SOUNDS IN "WHO" BY HEART.

"WHO" HAS 2 SOUNDS: "[h]...

[ooh]."

SAY THOSE SOUNDS WITH ME.

"[h]...

[ooh]."

THE FIRST SOUND, "[h]," IS SPELLED WITH THE LETTERS "W-H." WHAT LETTERS?

THAT'’S RIGHT, "W-H." THE "WH" IS A PART WE HAVE TO LEARN BY HEART.

AND THE NEXT SOUND, "[ooh]," IS SPELLED WITH THE LETTER "O."

WHAT LETTER?

YEP, THAT'’S RIGHT.

"O."

THE "O" IS ANOTHER PART WE HAVE TO LEARN BY HEART.

LET'’S SPELL "WHO" TOGETHER.

WHAT'’S THE WORD?

THAT'’S RIGHT, "WHO."

ONE MORE HEART WORD FOR TODAY.

"WHERE."

LET'’S TALK ABOUT THE WORD "WHERE," AS IN, "WHERE SHOULD WE GO SHOPPING FOR GROCERIES?"

WE CAN USE OUR LETTER SOUNDS TO SPELL SOME OF THE SOUNDS IN "WHERE," AND OTHERS, WE HAVE TO SPELL BY HEART.

"WHERE" HAS 3 SOUNDS: "[w]... [ay]...

[r]."

SAY THOSE SOUNDS WITH ME.

"[w]... [ay]...

[r]."

THE FIRST SOUND, "[w]," IS SPELLED WITH THE LETTERS "WH."

WHAT LETTERS?

THAT'’S RIGHT, "WH."

WE CAN READ THIS PART USING OUR PHONICS KNOWLEDGE.

HOWEVER, THE NEXT SOUND, "[ay]," IS SPELLED WITH THE LETTER "E." WHAT LETTER?

YES, "E." THE "E" IS A PART WE HAVE TO LEARN BY HEART.

THE LAST SOUND, "[r]," IS SPELLED WITH THE LETTERS "RE."

WHAT LETTERS?

YEP, "RE."

THE "RE" IS A PART WE HAVE TO LEARN BY HEART.

LET'’S SPELL "WHERE" ALTOGETHER.

WHAT'’S THE WORD?

THAT'’S RIGHT, "WHERE."

LET'’S PRACTICE MORE HEART WORDS-- OR LET'’S PRACTICE BOTH OF OUR HEART WORDS TOGETHER ONE MORE TIME.

DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ABOUT THESE 2 HEART WORDS?

THEY BOTH START WITH A "W," AND THEY BOTH ARE WORDS WE USE TO START A QUESTION, LIKE, "WHO DO YOU LIKE TO READ WITH?"

AND, "WHERE DO YOU LIVE?"

THAT WAS A GREAT WARM-UP, SUPER READERS.

NOW, WE'’RE GOING TO TAKE ON THOSE "L" BLENDS.

IN TODAY'’S LESSON, WE'’LL READ AND SPELL WORDS THAT HAVE THE LETTER "L" WITH ANOTHER CONSONANT TO MAKE A BLEND.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO WRITE ON AND SOMETHING TO WRITE WITH TODAY, BECAUSE WE'’RE GOING TO BE READING AND SPELLING THESE "L" BLENDS.

LET'’S GO GRAB OUR GEAR.

♪ ♪ ALRIGHT, WELCOME BACK.

I'’M READY TO GET STARTED, AND I HOPE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO WRITE ON AND SOMETHING TO WRITE WITH.

LET'’S GO.

"L" AND ITS CONSONANT BUDDIES MAKE SOME WORDS MORE CHALLENGING TO READ AND DECODE.

"L" OFTEN COMES AFTER ANOTHER CONSONANT TO MAKE A BLEND, AND THAT CAN BE TRICKY, BUT WE CAN TAKE THEM ON TOGETHER, SUPER READERS.

TAKE A LOOK HERE.

FIRST, "B" CAN COME WITH "L." I KNOW "B" SAYS "[b]," AND "L" SAYS "[l]."

TOGETHER, THEY SOUND LIKE THIS: "[b]...[l]," AND WE SAY THEM TOGETHER QUICKLY WHEN WE READ.

"[bl]."

SAY THAT SOUND WITH ME.

READY?

"[bl]."

THAT'’S RIGHT.

"[bl]."

LET'’S THINK OF SOME WORDS WE KNOW THAT START WITH "[bl]."

YOU CAN THINK OF IT OR WRITE IT DOWN, IF YOU'’RE ABLE.

I'’M THINKING...

I THOUGHT OF "BLUE."

MY FAVORITE COLOR.

WHAT DID YOU COME UP WITH?

TELL ME ON THE COUNT OF 3.

1, 2, 3... GREAT!

I HEARD "BLOW" AND "BLACK," AND SOME OF YOU SAID "BLUE," LIKE ME.

THOSE ARE GOOD "BL" WORDS.

NOW, "L" CAN ALSO WORK WITH "C." WE KNOW "C" SAYS "[k]," AND "L" SAYS "[l]."

TOGETHER, THEY SOUND LIKE THIS: "[k]...

[l]."

"[kl]."

SAY THAT SOUND TOGETHER WITH ME.

READY?

"[kl]."

THAT'’S RIGHT.

LET'’S THINK OF SOME WORDS WE KNOW THAT BEGIN WITH "[kl]."

HMM.

I THOUGHT OF "CLUE."

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF, SUPER READERS?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3... OH, I HEARD "CLICK" AND "CLIP" AND LOTS MORE.

WOW, GOOD IDEAS.

NOW, "L" CAN ALSO WORK WITH "P." "P" SOUNDS LIKE "[p]," AND "L" SOUNDS LIKE "[l]."

TOGETHER, THEY SOUND LIKE THIS: "[p]...

[l]."

"[pl]."

SAY THAT SOUND WITH ME.

READY?

"[pl]."

THAT'’S RIGHT.

I'’M THINKING OF WORDS WE KNOW THAT START WITH "[pl]."

HMM.

I THOUGHT OF "PLAY."

WHAT WORD DID YOU THINK OF THAT STARTS WITH "[pl]"?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3... WOW!

I HEARD "PLAN" AND "PLEASE," AND LOTS OF SUPER READERS THOUGHT ABOUT "PLAY" TOO.

NOW, LAST FOR TODAY, "L" CAN WORK WITH "G." "G" SOUNDS LIKE "[guh]," AND "L" SOUNDS LIKE "[l]."

TOGETHER, THEY SOUND LIKE THIS: "[guh]...

[l]."

"[gl]."

SAY THAT SOUND WITH ME.

READY?

"[gl]."

THAT'’S RIGHT.

NOW, I'’M THINKING OF WORDS WE KNOW THAT START WITH "[gl]."

HMM.

I THOUGHT OF "GLIDE."

WHAT WORD DID YOU THINK OF, THAT STARTS WITH "GL"?

TELL ME ON 3.

1, 2, 3...

I HEARD "GLOW" AND "GLAMOUR."

GREAT!

SUPER READERS, NOW THAT WE HAVE TAKEN ON THOSE "L" BLENDS, YOU'’RE IN CHARGE OF THEM.

I WANT YOU TO USE WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT "L" BLENDS TO SPELL AND WRITE A FEW WORDS.

I'’M GOING TO SAY A WORD, AND YOU WRITE IT.

YOU CAN WRITE IT ON A WHITEBOARD OR PAPER OR WHATEVER YOU HAVE AT HOME.

LET'’S GO.

OUR FIRST WORD IS "CLAP."

"CLAP."

FIRST, I'’M GOING TO TAP AND SAY EACH OF THE SOUNDS I HEAR IN "CLAP."

[k]... [l]... [aa]... [p].

NOW, TRY TO WRITE EACH SOUND YOU HEAR TO SPELL THE WORD.

LISTEN FOR THAT "L" BLEND AT THE BEGINNING.

[k]... [l]... [aa]... [p].

"CLAP."

"CLAP" STARTS WITH THE "CL" BLEND.

DID YOU SPELL IT THIS WAY?

YOU'’RE WORKING SO HARD, SUPER READERS.

OUR NEXT WORD IS "PLUG."

"PLUG."

[p]... [l]... [uh]... [g].

LISTEN FOR THAT "L" BLEND, SUPER READERS.

NOW, I'’M GOING TO PUT IT ON THE SCREEN, AND ON THE COUNT OF 3, YOU SHOW ME HOW YOU SPELLED "PLUG."

1, 2, 3... GOOD WORK!

"PLUG."

"PLUG" STARTS WITH THE "PL" BLEND.

DID YOU SPELL IT THIS WAY?

IF YOU MADE A MISTAKE, IT'’S OKAY TO CROSS OUT OR ERASE.

NEXT, "GLASS."

[g]... [l]... [aa]... [s].

"GLASS."

TAKE A MOMENT TO WRITE IT.

AND ON 3, SHOW ME HOW YOU SPELLED "GLASS."

1, 2, 3... GREAT WORK!

"GLASS" HAS THE "GL" BLEND, AND 2 S'’s AT THE END THAT SAY "[s]."

"GLASS."

OUR LAST WORD IS "BLACK."

"BLACK."

[b]... [l]... [aa]... [k].

"BLACK."

NOW, TAKE A MOMENT TO WRITE IT, AND THEN SHOW ME HOW YOU SPELLED "BLACK," ON 3.

1, 2, 3... "BLACK" BEGINS WITH THE "BL" BLEND AND ENDS WITH A "CK" THAT TYPICALLY MAKES THE "[k]" SOUND.

AMAZING EFFORT, SUPER READERS.

SUPER READERS PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER THAT THEY'’VE LEARNED ABOUT LETTERS AND SOUNDS TO TAKE ON MORE AND MORE CHALLENGING TEXTS.

LET'’S USE WHAT WE KNOW TO READ A SENTENCE TOGETHER.

THIS IS A HEART WORD.

"WHERE."

HEART WORD, "IS."

HEART WORD, "MY."

NOW, LET'’S SAY THE SOUNDS AND BLEND THIS WORD.

[k]... [l]... [ay]...

"CLAY."

IDENTIFY AND BLEND THE SOUNDS IN THIS WORD TOO.

[p]... [l]... [ay]... [t].

BLEND...

"PLATE."

AND A QUESTION MARK LETS ME KNOW THAT THIS IS A QUESTION, SO, MY VOICE MAY GO UP AT THE END.

SO, LET'’S PUT IT ALL TOGETHER TO READ THE WHOLE SENTENCE.

READY?

GREAT JOB READING WITH ME TODAY, SUPER READERS.

YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB IDENTIFYING WORDS THAT BEGAN WITH DIFFERENT "L" BLENDS.

SO, WHEN YOU'’RE READING OR WRITING ON YOUR OWN, REMEMBER TO PRACTICE THIS SKILL THAT YOU LEARNED TODAY TO HELP YOU DECODE AND SPELL THOSE WORDS.

HOW MANY CONSONANT BLENDS CAN YOU TAKE ON, SUPER READERS?

SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

HELLO, MY FRIENDS.

ALL THIS LEARNING CAN BE EXCITING, BUT SOMETIMES, I STILL GET SCARED THAT I'’M NOT LEARNING AS FAST AS OTHER PEOPLE OR MAYBE I'’M NOT AS GOOD AT LEARNING AS SOME OF MY OTHER FRIENDS.

YOU KNOW WHAT HELPS ME WHEN I FEEL LIKE THAT?

MAN...

I GIVE MYSELF A BIG SQUEEZE AND TELL MYSELF ONE THING THAT I KNOW I LOVE ABOUT ME.

RIGHT NOW, ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT ME IS THIS WONDERFUL HAIR.

I KNOW.

IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ALREADY, JUST SAYING SOMETHING POSITIVE.

EVERYONE LEARNS DIFFERENTLY.

AND THAT'’S SO COOL.

I LOVE BEING MYSELF, AND I LOVE THAT YOU ARE YOU.

WHAT'’S ONE THING YOU LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF?
