>>ALPHABOTT: /O/,/O/,/O/.

>>ALPHABOTTEERS: /O/,/O/,/O/!

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

/O/, LIKE OCTOPUS.

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

>>ALPHABOTTEERS: OOOH!

>>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 O IS /O/ IN WORDS WITH BLENDS.

>>ALPHABOTT: BUZZ BUZZ!

>>DOTT: "FOND".

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

SO 'O' REPRESENTS /OOO/ IN THIS WORD.

LET'S READ IT TOGETHER.

F/O/N/D.

FOND!

>>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 /O/ SOUND TODAY, AND YOU'LL EARN THAT "O CLOSED SYLLABLE BLEND BADGE".

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

>>DOTT: OFF YOU GO!

I'LL SEE YOU INSIDE JAMPA.

>>DUSTY: ...SHE'LL NEVER SPOT ME- >>DOTT: NOT SO FAST DUSTY... >>DUSTY: DOTT!
