You can't figure out rhymes if you're playing so fast.
But I have to.
It says so in my story!
See?
Oh!
I'll NEVER win the game!
What can I do?
Super Why... to the rescue!
With the Power to Read, I can change this story and save the day!
Let's change the word "quickly" in this sentence.
Zzzzap!
Why Writer... write!
Super Readers, what is the opposite of quickly?
Badly, slowly, or loudly?
Let's try "slowly".
Where's the word "slowly?"
It starts with the letter "s".
KIDS: There!
There's the word "slowly".
Let's zap it into the sentence.
Ready, set... Zzzap!
Let's read our new sentence.
All right.
Let me do this slowly and think about it.
Which word rhymes with Pin?
Tin, Dog, or Egg?
Hmm.
(Gasp!)
Tin!
(DING!
DING!
DING!)
Okay.
Which one of these words rhymes with PIN?
Um... F-in.
Does Fin rhyme with Pin?
Yes!
(DING!
DING!
DING!)
One more word to win!
OK. Last one.
Which of these words rhymes with PIN?
W-in.
Win.
Does win rhyme with pin?
Yes!
(DING DING DING!)
I won?
Did playing slowly help Aidan calm down and not get frustrated?
KIDS: Yes!
Yes!
Super job, Super Readers!
We changed the story and saved the day!
(cheering) Yay!
I've really won!
Congratulations!
Ha!
You've won... son!
Hurray!

The Super Story Answer is Calm Down.
But why?
Because Aidan needed to calm down when he was frustrated.
Then he was able to try again and win the game!
So my question is: What should I do if I'm frustrated 'cause I can't do my new trick?
And your answer is: Calm down!
I should calm down.
OK, I'll try it.
Come on!
OK, one, two, spineroo... here goes.
One, two....agh!
Ugh!
I can't get it!
Ok, I need to calm down.
