[MUSIC] [ UKELELE PLAYING ] >> Dusty: PLAY "FREEBIRD!"

>> Dott: I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE.

[ UKELELE PLAYING ] >> WHICH SONGS DO YOU KNOW?

>> NOT TOO MANY, HONESTLY.

I'M PRETTY NEW AT THIS.

I JUST STARTED TO LEARN.

>> WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO GET BETTER.

>> OKAY.

[ UKELELE PLAYING ] >> ARE YOU BETTER NOW?

>> NOT YET DUSTY, IT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER THAN THAT.

BUT I'LL GET THERE.

I JUST HAVE TO PRACTICE A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY, AND THEN, LITTLE BY LITTLE, I'LL GET BETTER AND BETTER.

JUST LIKE YOU, LEARNING TO READ.

>> I GOT IT.

YEAH!

TOTALLY.

[ UKELELE PLAYING ] >> HOW ABOUT NOW, ARE YOU BETTER NOW?

>> WELL, I CAN DO THIS.

[ UKELELE PLAYING ] >> WOW!

THAT WAS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY!

>> SEE?

THAT MEANS I'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE BETTER BECAUSE I PRACTICED.

>> AND PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

[DISCORDANT NOTE] >> WELL, PRACTICE MAKES BETTER THAN BEFORE.

[INSTRUMENTAL THEME MUSIC] >> YOU'RE HERE, YOU MADE IT!

>> I'M DOTT, LIKE THE POLKA DOT, AND THIS IS MY DOG DUSTY.

>> LIKE THE DUST!

NO, WAIT A MINUTE!

I AM DOTT LIKE THE POLKA DOT, AND THIS IS MY TRICKY DOG DUSTY.

>> WE ARE READING BUDDIES!

LET'S GET STARTED WITH OUR FIRST GAME, DOTT!

>> OK DUSTY, OUR FIRST GAME IS "I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR!"

>> I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR.

THAT'S RIGHT.

OK, YOU CAN BE ON MY TEAM.

DOTT'S GOING TO SAY A WORD >> AND YOU WILL ALL HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT SOUND THAT WORD STARTS WITH.

>> HEY DOTT, HOW ABOUT A PRACTICE ROUND?

>> OKAY!

SAY THE WORD "TICKLE."

>> TT, TT, TICKLE STARTS WITH THE TT SOUND!

>> GOOD JOB!

"TICKLE" DOES START WITH THE TT SOUND.

TRY DOORKNOB.

WHAT SOUND DOES DOORKNOB START WITH?

>> DOORKNOB, DOORKNOB.

DUH, DUH, DOORKNOB STARTS WITH DUH.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

TRY THE WORD SQUIRM.

>> OO, SQUIRM.

SQUIRM.

SS, SS.

SQUIRM STARTS WITH THE SS SOUND.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, DUSTY, WELL DONE!

OKAY, TRY THE WORD MOODY.

>> OH I SHOULD KNOW THIS ONE.

>> WHAT SOUND DOES MOODY START WITH?

>> MOODY, MOODY, MM.

MOODY STARTS WITH MMM.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, DUSTY.

THAT WAS A LITTLE HARD, RIGHT?

>> YEAH!

I MEAN, I COULD USE A BABY ASPIRIN, BUT I COULD DO IT AGAIN.

>> WHY DON'T WE TAKE A BRAIN BREAK AND DRAW WITH ALPHABOTT?

>> NOW THAT IS A GREAT IDEA, FRIEND.

>> DOT TO DOT WITH ALPHABOTT [ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> OH WOW!

I LOVE YOUR ARTWORK.

IS THAT SUBMARINE?

[ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> OH THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM.

ALPHABOTT DREW THIS SUBMARINE, BUT SHE WANTS IT TO BE ABLE TO SEE ABOVE THE WATER.

>> WE CAN HELP, AB, YOU JUST NEED A PERISCOPE!

>> DO WE NEED A PRESCRIPTION FOR THAT?

>> NO DUSTY, A PERISCOPE IS WHAT A SUBMARINE USES TO SEE ABOVE WATER.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A BIG POLE THAT COMES OUT OF THE TOP OF THE SUBMARINE THAT LETS THE SAILORS IN THERE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING ABOVE WATER.

>> OH!

I ALWAYS JUST CALL THAT "THE SUBMARINE PEEK ABOVE WATER THING," BUT PERISCOPE SOUNDS WAY COOLER.

PERISCOPE.

>> LET'S HELP AB FINISH THIS SUBMARINE!

YOU CAN MAKE ONE AT HOME IF YOU HAVE SOME PAPER HANDY.

OK, SO WE'LL TAKE OUR MARKER AND START AT THE TIPPY TOP.

NOW WE FOLLOW THIS CURVE AROUND, STRAIGHT LINE DOWN TO OUR PERISCOPE.

HEY, LOOK AT THAT!

>> LAND HO!

OH THIS PERISCOPE THING HAS ME SO EXCITED.

DOTT, LET'S MAKE UP OUR OWN STORY USING ALPABOTT'S DRAWING.

>> I'M IN!

I'LL PUT 30 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK.

>> IT'S TIME FOR A SPEEDY STORY!

>> IT'S TIME FOR A SPEEDY STORY!

>> ONCE >> UPON >> Dusty and Dott: A TIME!

>> WE WERE DEEP SEA EXPLORERS ON A SUBMARINE.

>> YEAH, MY NAME IS JACQUES, AND YOUR NAME IS PIERRE.

SAY SOMETHING FRENCH, PIERRE!

>> COMME CI, COMME CA.

>> GREAT!

WE WERE LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL FISH.

>> ONE WITH BIG EYES AND GREEN STRIPES.

>> AND LONG HAIR!

>> HAIR?

>> YEAH!

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN- >> WE RAN OUT OF GAS!

>> PLOT TWIST!

WE FOUND A MERMAID WHO HELPED US TO THE NEAREST SUBMARINE GAS STATION!

>> THEY HAVE THOSE?

>> WHO CARES?

>> Dusty and Dott: THE END!

>> IT'S RHYME TIME!

>> WELCOME TO RHYME TIME!

>> IN THIS GAME, DOTT'S GOING TO GIVE US THREE WORDS, TWO OF THEM RHYME, ONE OF THEM DOESN'T.

THAT WORD IS TRYING TO BE SNEAKY!

>> REMEMBER, RHYMING WORDS HAVE ENDINGS THAT SOUND THE SAME.

OK, HERE WE GO!

GOOSE, MOOSE, FLOOD.

>> GOOSE, MOOSE, FLOOD.

WHICH ONE DOESN'T RHYME?

GOOSE, MOOSE, FLOOD?

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

LET'S TRY SOME TOGETHER.

SAME RULES APPLY!

FIND THE WORD THAT DOESN'T RHYME.

>> GOT IT.

>> ZIG, BLIG, BROCK.

>> ZIG, BLIG, BROCK.

ZIG, BLIG, BROCK.

WHICH ONE DOESN'T RHYME?

UH-HUH, BROCK DOESN'T RHYME.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, IT HAS A DIFFERENT ENDING SOUND.

ALRIGHT, DIBBLES, CRIBBLES, DRACK.

>> DIBBLES, CRIBBLES, DRACK, DIBBLES, CRIBBLES, DRACK.

DEFINITELY DRACK, DRAT THAT DRACK!

HEY, NONSENSE WORDS ARE GREAT!

SHLATE.

MALATE.

I COULD GO ON AND ON.

WE BETTER MOVE TO THE NEXT GAME.

GAME PHLAME CRAME!

>> AND NOW A POEM!

>> NOW!?

ONE SECOND IT'S PHLAME CRAME AND NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO COME UP WITH FANCY POEMS.

I'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO!

>> WE GOT HIM!

[MUSIC] >> I SEE A FLYING FISH TODAY FLOATING IN THE AIR ITS SKIN WAS GREEN AND SCALY, IT HADN'T ANY HAIR I'LL TRY TO CATCH THAT FLYING FISH!

>> IF DUSTY GETS IT RIGHT, HE GETS A TREAT.

>> TODAY WE ANSWER THE AGE OLD QUESTION, "HOW MANY TREATS CAN A DOG ACTUALLY EAT?"

>> YOU CAN PLAY ALONG TOO, JUST DO WHAT DUSTY DOES.

HE'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD AT THIS.

WE'RE BREAKING UP WORDS.

DUSTY, WHEN YOU MAKE THE FF SOUND, DO YOU FEEL THE AIR LIKE SNEAKING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU MAKE THAT SOUND?

>> FFFF, I DO, IT'S SNEAKING!

FFFF.

>> DO YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING?

THE SYMBOL THAT MAKES THE FF SOUND IS CALLED THE LETTER F!

>> HEY!

DO YOU WANNA LEARN HOW TO DRAW IT?

I'LL ASK DOTT.

HEY DOTT.

WE WANNA LEARN HOW TO DRAW THE LETTER F. >> YOU DO?

>> WILL YOU TEACH US, PLEASE?

>> SURE THING DUSTY.

OKAY!

HERE WE GO!

IMAGINARY PAINTBRUSHES- >> SHWING, SPARKLE SPARKLE >> AT THE READY.

I DON'T THINK THE LITTLE BY LITTLE RULE APPLIES TO YOUR ROOM.

IT'S STARTING TO SMELL LIKE A WET DOG IN THERE.

COULD YOU PLEASE CLEAN IT UP A LOT BY A LOT?

>> YOU GOT IT DOTT!

BUT I'LL NEED YOUR HELP TO DO IT!

HEY, RACE YOU TO THE DOG HOUSE!

[MUSIC] >> OKAY, I ALMOST WON THAT TIME.

I'M GETTING FASTER!

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

I'LL MEET YOU BACK IN THE READING ROOM.

OH, WHATCHA DOING, DOTT?

>> OH!

I'M MAKING A NEW PENCIL HOLDER FOR THE DESK.

>> OUTTA WHAT?

>> A SOUP CAN FROM LAST NIGHT.

>> OH, COOL, COOL, COOL.

BUT WHY?

>> WELL I DIDN'T WANT IT TO GO TO WASTE.

YOU KNOW, WE THROW OUT SO MUCH EVERY YEAR, AND THAT'S JUST OUR HOUSE.

THINK ABOUT ALL THE TRASH THAT BUILDS UP ON OUR STREET.

>> IN THE CITY!

>> IN THE STATE, IN THE COUNTRY EVEN!

>> WOAH.

THAT'S A LOTTA TRASH.

>> EXACTLY.

THAT'S WHY I LIKE TO CHALLENGE MYSELF TO FIND SOMETHING I CAN REUSE.

>> HEY, I WANNA CHALLENGE MYSELF TOO!

>> OKAY!

WELL HOW ABOUT THE NEXT TIME WE DRAW, WE MAKE SURE WE USE BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER.

THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO NOT WASTE ANY, RIGHT?

>> YEAH!

AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE BROKEN CRAYONS I'VE BEEN HIDING IN YOUR SLIPPERS, HM?

COULD WE DO SOMETHING WITH THEM, MAYBE?

>> I'M SURE WE CAN.

HEY!

WE CAN PUT THEM IN THE OVEN, AND WE CAN BAKE THEM INTO NEW, TIE-DYE CRAYONS.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS A THING!

OH, NOW YOU'RE GETTING FANCY!

>> WELL THAT'S THE FUN PART OF RECYCLING, YOU CAN REALLY GET CREATIVE.

>> YEAH.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT RECYCLING IS?

I'M NOT SURE IF I DO.

>> WHAT WAS THAT, DUSTY?

>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT RECYCLING IS?

I MEAN, I THINK I KNOW, BUT UH • >> HEY, IT'S OKAY TO ASK THE QUESTION.

RECYCLING IS THE PROCESS OF TAKING MATERIALS THAT ARE READY TO BE THROWN AWAY AND CHANGING THEM INTO SOMETHING NEW.

BUT ONLY CERTAIN THINGS CAN BE RECYCLED.

>> OH, LIKE WHAT?

>> PAPER, PLASTIC, GLASS, AND METAL.

THEY CAN ALL BE RECYLCED.

THE PROCESS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR EACH OF THEM, BUT THEY ALL HELP THE ENVIRONMENT RATHER THAN HURT IT.

>> OH, HELPING OR HURTING, THAT'S EASY.

I WANNA BE A HELPER.

>> HEY, DO YOU WANNA BE A HELPER?

WHAT COULD YOU REUSE IN YOUR HOUSE?

MAYBE YOU CAN ASK YOUR GROWNUP IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN RECYCLE TODAY!

>> OKAY, LET ME SEE, LET ME SEE, WHAT ELSE COULD I RECYCLE?

RECYCLE, RECYCLE!

I EVEN LOVE HOW THE NAME SOUNDS!

OKAY.

YOU COULD PRETEND AN OLD SODA BOTTLE IS A SCUBA TANK, AND YOU CAN PLAY A GAME WITH IT.

OR YOU COULD DECORATE IT AND USE IT AS A PIGGY BANK.

LOOK AT ME DOTT, I'M RECYCLING!

>> I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, DUST.

OKAY, LET ME SEE, I'LL PUT THESE PENCILS IN IT, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> Dusty and Dott: SQUAT WITH DOTT!

>> GET READY TO SQUAT WITH DOTT!

>> DUSTY AND I ARE WORKING ON OUR FITNESS TOGETHER!

>> WANNA JOIN US?

>> YEAH!

TODAY'S MOVES ARE ALL ABOUT THE NUMBER FOUR!

THAT MEANS, WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING 4 TIMES.

>> HEY, YOU CAN COUNT ALONG WITH US!
