Why Writer... highlight!
Read with me!
Announcer: Welcome to the Big Pupp-athon!
Arf Arf.
I'm so excited to run in the race.
I'd better practice so I can do a good job!
Ooh....a pretty butterfly!
Hi, little butterfly.
Oh my peas, Serena Puppy is playing with a butterfly - and not practicing for the race!
And that Super Readers is why we are in this book.
Serena Puppy and Woofster are both doing other things.
To Serena Puppy!
Let's roll!
Hi, Serena Puppy!
A-ruff!
A-ruff!
A-ruff!
Serena Puppy!!
Oh!
Sorry I didn't hear you.
I was playing with this cute butterfly.
What about practicing for the race?
Oooh yeah the race!
I'm so excited.
Practice time!
Okay, Serena, for the first part of the race you need to jump over these three fences.
Like this.
Ruff....ruff....ruff!
Awesome!
Are you ready?
I'm ready!
Are you set?
-I'm set!
Now, JUMP!
Annnnd...JUMP!
Serena Puppy, why aren't you jumping?
Well, I've never jumped over fences before.
I'm not sure I can do it.
What should I do?
Alpha Pig... to the rescue!
With my amazing alphabet tools I can find the letters in the word jump and help Serena Puppy jump!
ABC, sing with me!
♪♪♪ ♪ Sing with me.
♪ Amazing alphabet singing!
Okay, the first letter in the word jump is 'j'.
Where's the 'j'?
There!
There's the 'j'!
And where's the 'u'?
There!
There's the 'u'!
Now we need an 'm'.
Where's the 'm'?
There!
There it is!
And last, we need a p!
Where's the p?!
There!
There's the p!
I'm jumping!
I'm jumping!
I can do it!
Way to go!
A-woo!
Lickety letters.
We found the letters in the word 'jump' and helped Serena Puppy jump!
Let's give ourselves a biiig thumbs up.
Keep going, Serena Puppy.
You have one more fence to jump over!
Ooooh, butterfly!
Hi, little butterfly!
Serena Puppy, come back!
You have to finish the jumps!
You're getting distracted!
What's distracted?
Woofster to the rescue!
With my doggie dictionary I can tell you what any word means!
"Distracted," means that you're not paying attention to what you are doing.
"Distracted"!
Woof!
Now we know what it means.
Woof-de-doo!
Give your tail a wag!
Oh.
Gee I was distracted by the cutie butterfly, and stopped jumping over the fences.
Okay.
No more distractions.
Bye, bye, butterfly.
Come on, Serena.
Time to practice the next part of the race: the Ball Fetch!
To the Ball Fetch!
Don't forget to look for Super Letters.
You see Super Letters?
Which letters did you find?
T, E, A and C?
[giggles] Let's put them in our Super Duper Computer!
Seven more Super Letters and then we'll get our Super Story Answer!
Super job, Super Readers!
Ooh, I like this Ball Fetch!
How does it work?
Woof!
Woof!
The ball launches into the air... and you fetch it!
Like this.
Ruff!
Ruff!
Okay Serena.
Let's practice!
Are you ready?
I'm ready!
Are you set?
I'm set!
Now, fetch!
Serena Puppy.
Why didn't you fetch the ball?
Here's the thing.
I can run.
I can roll.
Now I can jump.
But, I've never fetched before!
And yes, I know, I'm a puppy.
What should I do?
Cue the sparkles!
Cue the music!
Princess Presto to the rescue!
With my magic spelling wand I can spell the word FETCH and help Serena Puppy learn to fetch!
Ready?
Spell FETCH with me!
What letter makes the sound f ?
'F'!
'F'.
Wands up!
Write the lowercase letter 'F' with me!
Now, what letter makes the sound "eh"?
'E'!
'E'!
Write the lowercase letter 'E' with me, like this.
What letter makes the sound t ?
'T'!
'T'!
Let's write the lowercase letter 'T'.
Now, what two letters make the ch sound?
'C' and 'H'!
'C' and 'H'.
Write the lowercase 'c' with me.
Now, write the lowercase 'h' with me.
Presto!
I'm fetching!
Look at meeee!
Rowf!
Rowf!
Rowf!
Spectacular spelling!
We spelled fetch and helped Serena Puppy fetch!
Let's take a bow.
Oh!
Thank you, Serena!
One more ball to fetch, Serena Puppy!
Oookay.
Heeeeey, it's my cutie, wootie butterfly friend!
Oh my chinny, chinny, chin.
Serena Puppy's distracted again.
Oy... You see Super Letters?
Which ones?
Let's put them in our Super Duper... Computer!
Three more Super Letters... and then we'll get our Super Story Answer!
Nice work, Super Readers!
There she is!
Attention, all puppies!
The race is about to begin!
Please take your places.
Split pea.
The race is starting.
It's starting?
For real?
Oh, this is exciting!
But, Serena Puppy is still chasing the butterfly!
Serena Puppy, come back!
You're going to miss the race!
Oh!
Watch out!
Puppies on your mark... We have to do something!
Ruff!
Get set...
The race is starting!
What can we do?
I can help!
Whoa.
That's totally cool.
You froze the race!
That's woof-tastic, Wonder Red!
Serena Puppy, the race is going to start!
You need to stop chasing that butterfly!
But, I have to chase the butterfly.
Look at my story.
I want to run in the race, really I do, but I just can't.
Oh, no!
Super Why to the rescue!
With the power to read, I can change this story and save the day!
Let's change the word "butterfly" in this sentence.
Zzzzap!
Why Writer, write!
Where should Serena Puppy run?
To the Cheese?
Race?
Or crayons?
Let's try "race".
Where is the word race?
It starts with an "r".
There!
There!
Zzzap!
Zzzap!
Let's read our new sentence.
I'm ready to race!
And no distractions!
Look where you want to go... And don't look at anything else.
ESPECIALLY that butterfly!
Okay!
I'm on it!
Is everyone still frozen?
Oh, right!
Let me do the honors... Presto!
Annnnnnnnnd GO!!
[cheering] Just look where I'm going, don't look at anything else.
Not now, little butterfly, I'm running a RACE!
[cheering] Serena Puppy's running the race toward the finish line!
And Serena Puppy finished the Pupp-athon!
Hurray!
Did running to the race help Serena Puppy finish it?
Yes!
Yes!
Super job, Super Readers!
We changed the story and saved the day!
Thanks, Super Readers!
And thank you, Woofster.
You see our last Super Letters?
Which ones?
Let's put them in our Super Duper... Computer!
We found all of our Super Letters!
Now we can get our Super Story Answer!
Ruff!
Ruff!
Bye, Super Readers!
Bye, Serena Puppy!
Oh!
Hellllo, butterfly.
Now that the race is over, it's time to play with you!
Ruff!
Ruff!
Ruff!
Ruff!
Whyflyers!
Back to the Book Club!
♪ We found the Super Story Answer, with Super Why!
♪ Super Duper Computer, give us our Super Story Answer!
Read the letters with me!
The Super Story Answer is concentrate.
But, why?
Because, when you concentrate, you only look at what you're supposed to be doing.
So when Serena concentrated on the race, and not the butterfly, she was able to finish it!
Concentrate, I like that word.
So my question is... how can Woofster do our super duper trick?
And the answer is...
Concentrate!
Ohhhhhh.
I need to help Woofster concentrate on the hoop so we can do our trick.
I think we can do that.
Right Woofster?
Ruff-Ruff!
Come on.
Let's get back to the talent show!
Now, remember.
Concentrate on the hoop, think about your goal... and don't look at anything else around you... Ready, set, and JUMP through!
[cheering] Whoa!
We did our trick!
Great concentrating, Woofster.
Ruff!
