>>DUSTY: THRILLING, ISN'T IT?...

>>DOTT: THE ALPHABOTTEERS ARE HERE!

LET'S GO OUTSIDE AND SAY HELLO.

I'M MARTY, THE GARDEN GNOME, AND THIS IS MARY.

SAY HELLO MARY.

>>MARY: "HELLO MARY"!

>>MARTY: WE'RE HERE TO GIVE YOU... >>MARTY, MARY, KIDS : "THE FANCY SHMANCY WORD OF THE DAY" >>MARTY: WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A FANCY WORD, AND TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANS.

DRUMROLL PLEASE.

>>MARTY: TODAY'S WORD IS..."FRIGID"!

>>MARY: LET'S SAY IT TOGETHER!

"FRIGID" ON THREE 1,2,3... >>ALL: "FRIGID!"

>>MARY: "FRIGID" MEANS, VERY COLD IN TEMPERATURE.

>>MARTY: HEY!

THE ALPHABOTTEERS ARE COMING BACK!

>>ALPHABOTT: BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUUUUUUZ!

>>DOTT: YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, IT'S TIME FOR ALPHABOTT'S SOUND OF THE DAY!

>>ALPHABOTT: /I/,/I/,/I/.

>>ALPHABOTTEERS: /I/,/I/,/I/!

>>DOTT: THAT'S A FUN SOUND AB.

/I/, LIKE IN, INSECT.

TODAY, YOU'RE GOING TO HELP DUSTY EARN " THE I CLOSED SYLLABLE BLEND BADGE"!

>>ALPHABOTTEERS: OOH!

>>DOTT: TODAY'S BADGE IS A BLEND BADGE.

A BLEND IS WHEN CONSONANTS KEEP THEIR OWN SOUNDS WHEN THEY'RE TOGETHER.

BLENDS CAN BE FOUND AT THE BEGINNING OR END OF A SYLLABLE.

"AB, LET'S SHOW THEM WHEN THE LETTER I IS /I/ IN WORDS WITH BLENDS."

>>ALPHABOTT: BUZZ BUZZ!

>>DOTT: "WILT".

THIS WORD IS A CLOSED SYLLABLE -THERE IS JUST ONE VOWEL AND THAT VOWEL IS CLOSED IN BY A CONSONANT, (OR IN THIS CASE A BLEND OF L AND THIS T).

THE VOWEL SOUND WILL BE SHORT, KIND OF LIKE IT'S ANXIOUS THAT THE CONSONANT IS CLOSING IT IN.

SO 'I' REPRESENTS /I/ IN THIS WORD.

LET'S READ IT TOGETHER.

W-I-L-T!

WILT!

>>DOTT: THE WAY A WORD IS SPELLED SHOWS US... >>ALPHABOTTEERS: ...HOW TO READ THE SOUNDS!

>>DOTT: THANKS FOR GIVING US OUR SOUND AB.

>>ALPHABOTT: BUZZ BUZZZ!

>>DOTT: BE SURE TO LISTEN FOR THAT /I/ SOUND, AND YOU'LL EARN THAT "I CLOSED SYLLABLE BLEND BADGE".

LITTLE BY LITTLE... >>ALPHABOTTEERS: ...LETTER BY LETTER!

>>DOTT: OFF YOU GO!

I'LL SEE YOU INSIDE JAMPA.
