I don't think I cut out to give Oh, no.
Really?
Why?
I think you'll do great.
I've just got so much to do.
Well, yes.
Everyone is very busy, but the secret to getting everyt done is making sure that you're Well, how do you spell that?
First, you need to know what it to be prepared.
Means to be ready.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm terrible reader.
Good morning.
Camper.
Blueberry.
What more do you need help spell Prepared.
Very good.
Let's break the word into parts.
Oh.
Like syllables.
Oh, I know how to do that.
You put your hand on your chin, and each time your hand drops, that's a syllab Prepared.
Prepare.
That's two syllables.
Good job.
Blueberry.
Now that first syllable.
Pre.
That's a special part of the wor called a prefix.
Just like a tool and a toolbox.
Prefixes have special jobs.
We use prefixes as the beginning to change their meanings.
So anytime we see pre at the beginning of t it means before, like in the word prehistoric.
So let's sound out the prefix o I know those letters.
It's p r e. Yes.
And in this word the p and the r together to make the single soun Very good.
Now, how about that second sylla Paired?
Paired a word.
It starts with a p. Yes it does.
And for the next part, er, we use a r e in this word.
But keep it short.
Don't drag it out.
Our task is almost complete.
There's one more sound.
L d d d. That's a d. Yes.
So throw that on the end.
Prepared p r e p a r e d. That's it.
You spelled prepared?
Yeah.
Thanks for your help, Rob a read It is my pleasure.
Don't hesitate to reach out.
I can help you.
Be prepared to spell any word yo Bye.
Okay, I've started on this speech, but before I finish, I've got to finish collecting big box tools from all over camp.
Then I've got to get all these ingredients to Chef Sean for his meatloaf.
And then I got to meet my mom an back at the club house this afte That is a busy day.
You're telling me?
You gotta go.
Okay, let's cut the cheese for our interplanetary mac and c Yes, chef.
Next, we need to combine the brown sugar and the cinnamon We've got 36 Johnson Comet cookies to make purchase.
Oh.
First, we need to put the on into the fryer so we can make our Saturn's ring Oh, chef.
Okay, I need more squid ink for our black hole donut hol Got it.
Hey, reinforcements.
Did you bring the things I asked Eggs, bread crumbs and 46 pounds of ground chuck for the m You mean 46 pounds of chuck for my meteor lo Just like regular meatloaf.
Only a Amelia.
Sean, I'm.
I'm collecting some imaging tool You haven't seen any, have you?
Oh, you mean this?
Oh, hey, careful with that.
That's Archibald ornament up his original recipe reader.
That thing is almost as old as camp on a mount up itself.
Whoa!
You better believe.
Whoa!
That's not what I'm looking for.
Onboard locator on that thing.
Can find any recipe in the galax It's incredibly powerful.
Freeze!
Wait.
That's it.
I'm looking for this.
I need this.
It's the actual perfect whisk to make sure that my comet cooki doesn't explode in my face.
I'm sorry, Sean.
That's just a wish.
I'm gonna have to take.
All right.
Thanks.
That was weird.
That was not great.
Wait, what?
Hey.
Tyler.
Yeah.
I may have overextended myself.
Yeah.
Oh, thank goodness you're back.
Where have you been?
Where have I been?
Your tools have been all over th Hey, blueberry.
Oh, hey, Ellie.
How's your speech coming?
Oh, It's, come in right along.
No speeches.
Oh, no.
No, no.
The ship is not going to fix it, Boom!
Is that a spaceship?
No.
I'm dead.
Oh.
You betcha.
This is a classy intergalactic comfort cruiser.
It's got an engine that can gene to 1.21GW.
It comes complete with four dime G.P.S.
anti-gravity gear.
And, of course, coupled crew standards.
You guys are a little early, don't you think?
We just wanted to spend a little extra time with our favorite daughter.
Plus, we needed to find good sea for the meteor shower.
Right?
Right.
Oh, blueberry.
Earlier today, I thought of this great quote.
You can start your speech off wi Oh, my speech.
Yeah.
You're giving a speech.
Oh, sweetheart.
That's exciting.
I'm.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
These are not my dwarf blueberry.
These are groceries.
What?
I not use cash to fix my ship.
I have tried.
Oh, no.
If I brought the groceries to the Max shack, that means that I must.
Blueberry.
How is a fella expected to make a big old batch of meteor loaf with a sock maybe a screwdriver, but never a socket wrench, amiri He's a big joke, sailor.
I guess I got confused.
Ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo hoo!
What?
We need your help.
Oh, yes.
The ship that's running Barry, can we read your speech?
Hey, blueberry.
You ever thought about going into the culinary ar We must get to work before the meteor shower happens Come on.
Yeah.
Come on.
Did you.
Wash your.
What happened?
Hello.
I'm robo reader.
I'm the computer that controls the spaceship.
I need help recovering my word b The more words you help me read, the faster we can fix the ship.
Ready?
What letters do you see?
That's right.
F l a s h. Is there anything special about those first two letters?
F and now, are both consonants a What sound should they make?
That's right.
S make stuff sound and l mixed up all sound.
But when we put these letters to they form a consonant blend, making the single sound flow.
Let's practice that sound with some other words like flip, Great work.
What else do we see in this word The next letter is a and this wo It makes a short a sound.
As in bag or sad.
Is there anything special about the final two letters in t That's right.
It's two more consonants as an h They make the sounds and.
But when we put them together, these letters form something called a consonant dig Together, they form a sound.
So sound out our new word flow.
Sh.
Flow.
Flash.
You read the word flash?
Flash means a sudden and brief burst of ligh As in, the photographer flipped a switc so his camera would flash.
Thank you for helping me read the word flash and save it to my power bank.
See you next time.
I'm Barry blueberry.
Are you okay?
Do you remember blueberry?
Well, we just have to breathe an And out in and out.

Things like the talent show.

When you made a kite that looked just like me.
Or spooky stories around the cam Chef Shawn, he made the best s'm That's right.
