00:00The
00:30The O says, ah, the O says, ah, every letter makes a sound, the O says, ah, the R says, er, the R says, er, every letter makes a sound, the R says, er.
00:53Drop him, Professor Quigley!
01:02Huh? Whoa!
01:12Complex words, complex!
01:18Simply spectacular, isn't it, Mr. Frog?
01:21Yes, indeed, Professor. Complex words are so much fun.
01:27I can't wait to get started putting letters together to make complex words.
01:32They're some of my favorite words in the world.
01:36Here at the Complex Words Complex, making words is easy as it gets.
01:43We're gonna take some letters and put them together.
01:47Mix them all around and create some brand new sounds.
01:51Here at the Complex Words Complex.
01:55Complex!
01:55I am so excited about our new factory.
02:01That makes two of us.
02:03I'd say that makes one, two, three, four, five of us.
02:08Look, the kids have just arrived.
02:12Complex words, complex?
02:16Complex?
02:17That sounds hard.
02:18No, not at all.
02:21Not when you know the secrets, Tad.
02:24Complex words have letters that just make different sounds when they're put together.
02:28And these secrets are exactly what we want to show you today.
02:32Welcome to the super-duper state-of-the-art Complex Words Complex.
02:47With my marvelous machines, anyone can make complex words.
02:51And talk about high-tech.
02:54If you ever need help and I'm not around, just say the word, help.
02:59Help?
03:00What seems to be the problem?
03:02This is my patented, absent professor device.
03:06Far better than the original, don't you think?
03:08Hey, I built you.
03:09But I'm smarter.
03:12You kids get the idea.
03:14Come on, everyone.
03:17Tell me, Tad, how many letters are in the alphabet?
03:21There are 26 letters.
03:24Yes, indeedy.
03:2526 letters.
03:27But did you know that in the English language, there are more than 26 different sounds?
03:33Many more.
03:34Same letters, but different sounds?
03:37That's crazy.
03:38That's why some words are complex words.
03:43And Tad, do you remember when we made the vowels all sticky so they could hold words together?
03:49Well, the vowels can do something else really cool.
03:53They can make other sounds, like in one of my favorite songs.
04:02They're A-E-I-O-U.
04:05They're the vowels.
04:06They're the glue.
04:07And each of them makes two sounds.
04:10Together, they make new sounds.
04:12A says A.
04:14And A says A.
04:16Hooray!
04:17E says A.
04:19And E says E.
04:20Whoopee!
04:21I says I.
04:23And I says I.
04:25Oh, hi!
04:26O says A.
04:28And O says O.
04:30Wow!
04:31U says A.
04:32And U says U.
04:34So cute!
04:35And sometimes Y will join the team.
04:37He doesn't like to stay too clean.
04:39U, E, I.
04:40U, E, I.
04:42Uh-oh!
04:43Oh, my!
04:44We're A, E, I, O, U, and Y.
04:46We're the vowels and here is Y.
04:49Very sticky.
04:50Very icky.
04:51Sticky.
04:51To show you a new way of using the vowels, let me introduce you to my amazing silent E machine.
05:03What makes it so amazing?
05:05I thought you'd never ask.
05:07This marvelous machine builds words that end with a silent E.
05:12That's cool.
05:14So what does a silent E do?
05:17Well, Tad, let's say you started with the word tap.
05:21Can you sound that out for me?
05:23That's an easy one.
05:25Tap.
05:26T-A-P-Tap.
05:30Good.
05:31Now what happens when you say this word?
05:34Um, I know.
05:36T-A-P-E-Tap-E.
05:40Well, it looks like tap, eh, but this is a silent E.
05:46And when we put it at the end of a word, the silent E makes the other vowel say its name.
05:54Okay.
05:55It's tap.
05:56We know that.
05:57But when a silent E comes at the end of the word, there it is.
06:02The silent E makes the other vowel say its name.
06:07Um, the other vowel?
06:09Okay, the vowels are A, E, I, O, and U.
06:15And sometimes Y.
06:17The other vowel is the A, so that's T-A-P-Tap!
06:25Tape!
06:26Tape!
06:27That's correct, my boy.
06:28Wow.
06:29Professor, where'd you get that cool silent E?
06:32Right from my very own silent E machine.
06:35It's a machine that literally takes their voice away.
06:49Professor, where did all their voices go?
06:52All the voices are safely stored in a high security area, along with my patented Revoiceorator.
06:59It's the machine that puts the voices back in the E's, if we ever need to.
07:04Come on, Tad, let's make some words.
07:10Silent E makes the first vowel say its name.
07:13Take cap, add E, and you've got cape.
07:16C-A-P-E.
07:20The A says its name, and you've got cape.
07:22C-A-P-C-A-P-E.
07:32Now let's see the letter E.
07:36P-E-T-Pet.
07:39P-E-T-Pete.
07:42Give this one a try.
07:44Let's build with letter I.
07:45P-E-T-Pet.
07:52P-I-T-Pet.
07:55Wait, wait, now I know.
07:57Let's try the letter O.
07:59Okay.
08:01P-A-P-O-P-O-P-O-P.
08:08Now let's cue the letter U.
08:14P-U-T-Pet.
08:17P-U-T-Pet.
08:22P-U-T-Pet.
08:27Silent E makes the first vowel say its name.
08:30Take tap, add E, and you've got tape.
08:33T-A-P-E.
08:36The A says its name.
08:38You've got tape.
08:39Silent E makes the first vowel say its name.
08:42Take dim, add E, and you've got dime.
08:46D-I-M-E.
08:49The I says its name.
08:51You've got dime.
08:52If it ends with silent E and there's a letter in between.
08:56The first vowel says its name.
08:59Silent E makes the first vowel say its name.
09:02Take not, add E, and you've got note.
09:05N-O-T-E.
09:08The O says its name.
09:10You've got note.
09:11Silent E makes the first vowel say its name.
09:15Take cut, add E, and you've got cute.
09:18C-U-T-E.
09:21The U says its name.
09:23You've got cute.
09:24If it ends with silent E and there's a letter in between.
09:28The first vowel says its name.
09:31Quack, quack, quack.
09:32Cut, cut, cut.
09:34Mr. Wubsley, you said cut, cut, cut.
09:37But I think you meant cute, cute, cute.
09:40What?
09:42Quack.
09:42Ah, a complex word.
09:45You're not going to ask me to publish a book about complex words, are you?
09:51Why, uh, yes, sir.
09:53Now that the children have learned simple words at the words factory.
09:57Precisely my point, Frog.
09:59Once kids learn their ABCs and simple words, the rest is...
10:03Quack, easy.
10:05But, sir, children really need to understand how to sound out complex words.
10:11Quack.
10:11Balderdash.
10:12There is absolutely nothing complex about complex words.
10:16For me, when you two have something really important to talk about.
10:20Quack.
10:21Quack.
10:21This better be important.
10:23Oh, well, I guess we could turn the complex words complex into a shopping mall or something.
10:31Oh, Professor, if complex words are far too important to give up now...
10:36Kids, the Professor and I need a little time to come up with a plan.
10:41You two go ahead, but I'm not going to change my mind.
10:45We've got to do something.
10:47Yes, we've got to do something.
10:49And I know the something we've got to do.
10:55You've just got to see how this machine works, Mr. Webbsley.
10:59Right this way.
11:06Ted, please.
11:07This looks very interesting, but I've got real business to take care of, all right?
11:14Look, Mr. Webbsley, we've got a machine that makes these E's into silent E's.
11:20It actually takes their sound away.
11:23Watch.
11:24I can do it with my eyes closed.
11:30Uh-oh.
11:31Something tells me you should have looked, Lee.
11:34Are you all right, sir?
11:47Oh, no.
11:49He's lost his voice.
11:51Silenced by the silent E machine.
11:54Dad and the Professor will know what to do.
11:57Where are they, anyway?
11:58We need help.
11:59Help?
12:00What seems to be the problem?
12:02Oh, good.
12:04It's the absent Professor.
12:06Help?
12:07What seems to be the problem?
12:09We made Mr. Webbsley lose his voice.
12:13You've just got to fix it before he loses something else.
12:19Yeah, like his temper.
12:21If you or one of your party has lost his voice in the silent E machine, touch my left hand.
12:29If you would like ice cream, touch my right hand.
12:33Oh, oh, right hand.
12:34Right hand.
12:37Right hand.
12:39Just go to the Revoice-O-Rator to claim any and all lost voices.
12:47All you need is the audio access code to unlock it.
12:51Today's audio access code is...
12:54Bake, shut, wait.
12:57It's some kind of word puzzle, isn't it?
12:59Bake, shut, wait.
13:02Bake, shut, wait.
13:05That won't be hard to remember.
13:08I hope.
13:09We'd better write them down.
13:13Oh, oh, let me write the words.
13:17Okay, the first word is bake.
13:21I think that's a silent E word.
13:24Silent E machine, do your stuff.
13:27Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.
13:32Ah, ck.
13:34Back?
13:35Wait, wait, wait.
13:36For bake, we need to make the vowel say its name with the silent E.
13:45A.
13:47Great.
13:48Buh, A, ck.
13:51Bake.
13:52I did it.
13:54Buh, A, ck.
13:56And the silent E at the end makes bake.
14:08Don't worry, Mr. Websley.
14:10We'll get to the other words.
14:13The audio access code is bake, shut, wait.
14:18We've got bake.
14:19Your next word is shut, Tad.
14:23Shh.
14:24But I don't know how to make the sh sound.
14:28I think I need some help.
14:30Help? What seems to be the problem?
14:33We need to build a second word, shut.
14:36Yeah, but how do I write the sh sound?
14:40For that type of complex word,
14:42please visit my next amazing complex word machine.
14:46Just take a left, then two rights.
14:50Glad to be of help.
14:50Hey, where's Mr. Websley?
14:56There!
14:57Wow! Look at him go!
15:00I guess he can't wait to get his voice back.
15:03Come on, we'll find him at the next machine.
15:07A left...
15:08And two rights.
15:13Number one.
15:17And number two.
15:23Wow!
15:24The k...
15:25Sound machine, huh?
15:27Don't worry, Mr. Websley.
15:30We'll figure this out for you.
15:32All we need is a little help!
15:35Help?
15:36What seems to be the problem?
15:38Professor!
15:39Want a demonstration of my astonishingly stupendous...
15:44Sound machine?
15:46Hey, what about my ice cream?
15:48First you take the letter C, add the letter H, put them both together, and a whole new sound you make.
16:02When they come out, it's a whole new sound.
16:07And watch what happens when they're added to the beginning of a word.
16:10That's mighty handy, but what about using an S and H?
16:33First you take the letter S, you add the letter H, put them both together,
16:39and a whole new sound you make.
16:42Shh!
16:43Don't look at me, I was being quiet!
16:46No, Dad, that's the new sound.
16:49Shh!
16:53Shh!
16:54Ip!
16:56Chip!
16:57Shh!
16:59Up!
17:01Shop!
17:02Now we're on a roll!
17:04How about a T and H?
17:05First you take the letter T, you add the letter H, put them both together,
17:19and a whole new sound you make.
17:25N
17:25Fin
17:27Ink
17:30Think
17:32First you take the letter S, and you add the letter H, put them both together, and a whole new sound you make.
17:46Shh!
17:46Shh!
17:46Chip!
17:47Shh!
17:48Chomp!
17:50First you take the letter C, and you add the letter H, put them both together, and a whole new sound you make.
18:00Ch!
18:00Ch!
18:01Chip!
18:01Ch!
18:02Ch!
18:02Ch!
18:03Chats!
18:04First you take the letter T, and you add a letter H, put them both together, and a whole new sound you make.
18:15In
18:15Three
18:18These letters hold the key.
18:22Glad to be of help.
18:24Now it's time for the next word to unlock Mr. Webbsley's voice. How did it go again?
18:32Bake, shut, wait.
18:35Bake, shut, wait.
18:37I get it now.
18:39Shut.
18:39It starts with the shh sound, so we need an S and an H working together to make that sound.
18:47Ahem, um, an S and an H, please.
18:53Uh-oh, shut.
19:06Shh, shh, shut.
19:09Look, I got the second word done.
19:12I got the second word done.
19:16You're doing great, Tad.
19:18And we've only got one more word.
19:21Wait!
19:22And something tells me that just one more machine will do it.
19:26Help!
19:27Help?
19:28What seems to be the problem?
19:30The audio access code is bake, shut, wait.
19:35So we need some help with our last complex word, wait.
19:39Well, for that kind of complex word,
19:42you'll need the Walking Talking Connector 5000.
19:45Simply take the first three lefts, then six rights,
19:49another left, and then a right, left, right, and one and a half lefts.
19:53Just follow us, Mr. Websley.
19:55We'll find it.
19:57There he goes again.
20:02Wow!
20:04Cool!
20:05This has got to be the professor's Walking Talking Connector 5000.
20:10Wait!
20:11The word is wait.
20:13How do I make that word help?
20:16Help?
20:17What seems to be the problem?
20:19How do I make the word wait?
20:22Well, it's really easier than it seems.
20:25Some complex words are made up of vowel teams.
20:29That's when two vowels are stuck together in a word,
20:32like the O-A in soap or the I-E in pie.
20:38Only one of them says its name.
20:40Tell us, Professor.
20:41How do you know which one says its name?
20:44Yeah!
20:45How do you know?
20:46It's very easy to remember.
20:48When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
20:52E.
20:53A.
20:54E.
20:55A.
20:56E.
20:57A.
20:58When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
21:03E.
21:04T.
21:05E.
21:06A.
21:07No, wait.
21:08That's two vowels together, so only the first one says its name.
21:10T.
21:11E.
21:12T.
21:13E.
21:14A.
21:15No, wait.
21:16That's two vowels together, so only the first one says its name.
21:20T.
21:21E.
21:22T.
21:23E.
21:24E.
21:25T.
21:26E.
21:27E.
21:28Leap.
21:29Leap?
21:30What seems to be the problem?
21:32No problem!
21:33We're just building your name.
21:34Now for a change of pace, how about using A and I?
21:37A.
21:38O.
21:39Tail.
21:40Now, for a change of pace, how about using A and I?
21:49A, O, tail!
21:55A, O, tail!
22:00Now let's give A and Y a try.
22:02And don't forget, sometimes Y is a vowel.
22:06A, pay!
22:12A, say!
22:16What about I and E?
22:21I, pie!
22:25T, I, tie!
22:31Next, why don't we say O and A?
22:35G, O, T, GOAT!
22:42B, O, T, BOAT!
22:48This last one will be fun for me.
22:50Now watch what happens with E and E!
22:53B, B, E, B, S, E, C!
23:03Think you've got it, Chad?
23:05Oh, surely.
23:06It is easy to remember.
23:09When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
23:12Like O and A say O, as in BOAT and GOAT!
23:20When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
23:25Like A and Y say A, as in say and TRE!
23:33When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
23:39Like E and A say E, as in TING and BLEEP!
23:46When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
23:53Like I and E say I, as in TIE!
24:01And I!
24:03We better get that last word done, Tad!
24:13Oh, I've got it!
24:15WAIT!
24:18W-A-T WAIT!
24:21W-A-T WAIT!
24:25And this is the last key word.
24:37Now we can release Mr. Websley's voice!
24:43Hey, why not revisit my complex word machines?
24:47They promise hours and hours of family fun.
24:51I think Mr. Websley has seen enough.
24:57How many left and right turns will it take to get to the Revoicerator?
25:02Ha ha ha!
25:03The Revoicerator is closer than you think.
25:06Just press that itsy bitsy tiny button over there.
25:13Go ahead.
25:14Push it!
25:15Well, here goes!
25:35Bake, shut, wait!
25:38Huh?
25:38Well, come on!
25:40Open up!
25:40What's wrong?
25:43Bake, shut, wait!
25:46Have I spelled everything correctly?
25:51First we take the letter S, then we add the letter H.
25:57Put them both together and a whole new sound they make.
26:01Sh, sh, and ut.
26:04Sh, sh, sh, ut.
26:07Shut!
26:08That one is correct.
26:10The silent E makes the first vowel say its name.
26:16B-A-K-BAKE!
26:19Also correct.
26:23When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
26:28B-A-K-BAKE!
26:32Wait!
26:32Wait!
26:32Wait!
26:34Yep, everything's spelled just right.
26:38Hmm.
26:39Maybe the words are in the wrong order.
26:41Maybe you're right, Lily.
26:43Like in a puzzle.
26:45Try them in a different order, Tad.
26:48Hmm.
26:49Oh, no.
26:52Wait.
26:53Shut.
26:54Bake.
26:54Bake.
26:55Nope.
26:58Okay, okay.
26:59Bake.
27:00Shut.
27:01Wait.
27:03Oh, nothing there.
27:04Oh!
27:07How about...
27:09Shut.
27:10Bake.
27:11Wait.
27:12That's it.
27:27The first word is shut.
27:29Shut the door.
27:33Bake.
27:34We have to bake the words.
27:38What now?
27:39And now, we wait.
27:50Wow!
27:55How does it work?
27:58Hey, look for a big green go button.
28:09Nice job, little brother.
28:29You figured it out.
28:30Sir, is your quack back?
28:48Kids, Mr. Websley, what are you doing in here?
29:06What's going on?
29:07Is everything all right?
29:08Everything is great, Frog.
29:15Frog, I must say, this complex words complex of yours is simply spec-wack-ular.
29:23I had such a great time with these complex words.
29:26And you know what?
29:27Complex words aren't so complex after all.
29:30Frog, I have a great idea.
29:33I want you and the professor to get right to work on a book about complex words.
29:39Okie dokie!
29:41Yay!
29:42Of course, I will need them by tomorrow.
29:45That's what I love.
29:47Deadlines.
29:49Well, we'd better get started.
29:51Not until Tad and I sing a little something here.
29:56Hit it, Mr. Websley!
29:57Here at the complex words complex, making words is easy as it gets.
30:06We learned all about the magic letter E.
30:10We turned cut into cute.
30:12It's as easy as can be.
30:14The big H mixer, it mixes sounds round.
30:18We mixed up C and H so we could chug-a-chug around.
30:22At the complex words complex, where making words is simple, not complex.
30:30We met some vowels that whenever two they walk, the second one's quiet.
30:36The first one only talks.
30:38We built the words that helped us open up the door.
30:41And the rules we learned will help us open more.
30:45And that's the way that it should be.
30:48It's really very simple, you can see.
30:52Here at the complex words, the complex words, the complex words complex.
31:03Oh, yeah!
31:18We'll sign and see.
31:25Okay.
31:25Jordan!
31:28Bye.
31:32Bye.
31:33Bye.
31:34Bye.
31:37Bye.
31:40Bye.
31:46Bye.
31:47Bye.
31:47Bye.
31:47Bye.
