00:23Oh, it's good to be home.
00:30Hello, I'm Phonic and I live in this mouse hole with my friend, Inky Mouse.
00:38That's three pictures, Phonic. Now it's time for a rest.
00:46As you can see, Inky's rather tired right now as she's been out taking pictures for some books we are
00:52making.
00:53Did you know that all the words we speak are made up of different sounds?
00:59That's what our books are about. I'd better wake her up now as we still need three more pictures to
01:04finish the first book.
01:09Hey, Inky, wake up. Wake up, Inky.
01:14Be quiet, Phonic, or I'll turn off your electricity.
01:24Quiet!
01:26Just three more pictures?
01:27Oh, bother. Okay then.
01:32So, what sounds still need pictures?
01:37There you are.
01:47So, off goes Inky Mouse, the famous explorer, once more into the big wide world to bring you pictures of
01:57things with S and A and T in them.
02:00Hmm.
02:02Hmm.
02:02I wonder what they could be.
02:04Things with S and A and T in them.
02:10S and A and T.
02:23Oh, lost again. Lost again. Lost again. S and T.
02:34Now then, now then. What's all this? Bees are supposed to be cheerful and busily collecting pollen. They've got no
02:43time to be sad.
02:45You'll be sad if you were lost. I don't know which way to go to my hive.
02:53Oh, please don't cry. If I lost the way to my mouse hole, I guess I would be sad too.
03:01Oh, oh. I wonder where your hive can be. Oh, what a sad little bee. Sad bee. Sad. Sad.
03:14Sad begins with a S.
03:18Oh, but Bea won't want me to take a sad picture of her.
03:27Oh, look. How helpful. Look at what the sign says.
03:34What sign?
03:36That one there. Read it.
03:40I can't read.
03:43You can't read?
03:45Oh, that is sad.
03:51It's not that sad. I mean, you can always learn.
03:56Can I?
03:58Yes, of course.
04:01Everyone can learn to read.
04:04Oh. Oh, good.
04:08It's fun. And very useful.
04:13Look. That signpost says, Beehive. So now you're not lost anymore.
04:19Oh, no. How wonderful. Beehive. Now I know where to go. Oh, I do wish I could learn to read.
04:31Well, Phonic and I could teach you if you want.
04:34Could you? Oh, I'd love that. Who's Phonic?
04:40Oh, he's a friend of mine. He and I are making a book to help everyone learn to read.
04:49Oh, how exciting.
04:52Would you like to help us?
04:54Oh, I would. I would.
04:56Well, first we have to find three things with the sounds S and A and T in them.
05:05S and A and T.
05:10S and A and T.
05:14Well, I know something very near here that begins with a S sound.
05:23Well, if it's the sort of S I think you mean, they're very fond of little mice like me.
05:30Well, you do want a good picture for your book, don't you?
05:34Of course.
05:36I don't want to be someone's supper, thank you very much.
05:40Oh, you won't be. He's very friendly and bound to be curled up asleep at this time of day.
05:50Just don't surprise him. That's all.
06:09Take a picture.
06:11Take a picture.
06:21Oh, goody!
06:23Hey, Supper.
06:29Come back, Inky. Come back.
06:32That was just Snake's little joke.
06:35He plays it on everyone, especially mice.
06:39Well, tell him to play it on someone his own size.
06:42That was superbly funny.
06:47That wasn't funny at all, Snake.
06:50You might have frightened her away.
06:52And then she wouldn't be able to teach me to read.
06:56Teach you to read?
06:58Teach you to read?
07:00Can she teach me to read?
07:04Yes, as long as you don't scare her away.
07:12Sorry, Bee.
07:14I'm such a clumsy, scary sort of snake, aren't I?
07:20You just don't know your own size.
07:26Or shape.
07:28Hold it right there.
07:34You're a perfect S-shape.
07:37Just write for our book.
07:39Your book?
07:41Yes, Snake.
07:42Isn't it exciting?
07:44Isn't it exciting?
07:44I'm helping Inky to make a book so everyone can learn to read.
07:49Even me?
07:51Yes.
07:52You can learn too.
07:54If you promise not to scare me anymore.
07:57Or anyone else for that matter.
07:59Oh, I promise.
08:02Now, listen.
08:04We have to find two more things for the sounds A and T.
08:09OK.
08:10A and T.
08:13A and T.
08:15T, T, T.
08:16Sounds like Ant to me.
08:20Oh, yes.
08:21We need a picture of an Ant.
08:25An Ant.
08:27Yes.
08:28I know where's there's an Ant's Nest.
08:31Follow me.
08:37Look out.
08:39Someone's coming.
08:46Oh, look!
08:49Must you go so far, Snake?
08:52Oh, sorry, Inky.
08:54Here's an ant's nest.
08:56Well, are you sure?
08:58I can't see any ants around.
09:00Oh, you will.
09:01Get ready to take a picture.
09:04OK.
09:10Stop that noise!
09:11Stop that noise!
09:13Quick!
09:13Take the picture!
09:14Take the picture!
09:16Do you mind?
09:18We're trying to get some sleep downstairs.
09:21How thoughtless.
09:22Oops.
09:24Sorry.
09:25Oh, sorry, Ant.
09:27But thank you as well.
09:29We now have a very good picture for A to go in our sound book.
09:34A sound book?
09:36What's that?
09:37It's to help you learn the sounds that letters make.
09:41Letters?
09:42Yes.
09:43Words are made up of letters.
09:45And when you learn their sounds, you can learn to read and write.
09:49How exciting!
09:50Maybe you can make a book for us, too.
09:53Hmm.
09:54I'll see what I can do.
09:58Well, we still have to find something with T in it.
10:02Look out!
10:03Something with a T is coming this way!
10:07Oh!
10:11Oh!
10:13Oh!
10:13Oh!
10:13Oh!
10:13Oh!
10:13Oh!
10:14Take a picture!
10:15Take a picture!
10:16It's a tennis ball.
10:18Someone's playing tennis.
10:20T, t, t, t.
10:23Oh!
10:24I see.
10:25Like you're watching tennis.
10:29T, t, t, t, t, t, tennis.
10:34Look out!
10:36Oh!
10:38Get down!
10:38It's far too dangerous up here today.
10:42Inky, why not take a picture of them playing tennis?
10:46What do you think is for the book?
10:47Good idea!
10:54Well, T didn't take long to find, did it?
10:58No!
11:00That's everything.
11:03T, t, t, t, t.
11:06We can finish the first book now.
11:13You have done well, Inky.
11:15And being snake, I couldn't have done it without them.
11:19Well done all of you.
11:20Now let's see what we have to put in the book.
11:23Right.
11:24First we have the sound sir.
11:27And a picture of me.
11:30Yes, and a brilliant picture of snake.
11:32Just like a sir.
11:36That's right, snake.
11:38And this is how you write it.
11:40Start at the top, come back round, and then round the other way.
11:47Yes, snake.
11:48And now for the second sound.
11:51Ah, ah, ah.
11:54Well done, B.
11:56Ants has an ah at the beginning.
11:59Another great picture, Inky.
12:01This is how you write an ah.
12:04Start at the top, back round to where you started,
12:08then straight down, and remember to put a joining tail.
12:11Now what's next?
12:12T.
12:14T.
12:15T.
12:15T.
12:16T.
12:16Tennis.
12:16Yes.
12:18The tennis ball.
12:19Beginning with the sound.
12:21T.
12:22T.
12:23T.
12:24T.
12:25Right.
12:26T.
12:26And where do you start to write it?
12:29Start at the top.
12:31Up.
12:31Yes.
12:33It starts at the top, then down and round, then put a stick across.
12:38There.
12:38T.
12:39Well done, everyone.
12:42Now those three sounds make up a word that you can read.
12:45Say the sounds and listen for the word.
12:49S.
12:50A.
12:51T.
12:52S.
12:53A.
12:54T.
12:55Sat.
12:57Sat.
13:00Sat.
13:01Sat.
13:02Sat.
13:03Sat.
13:03Well done, Snake.
13:04Right.
13:05Now for the other three sounds.
13:08I and P and N.
13:11First the letter I.
13:13Now there's someone here whose name begins with I and often says I, I, I.
13:20I know.
13:21I know.
13:22It's you, Inky.
13:25Right.
13:26Eek, eek, eek.
13:28And look how I got my name.
13:32When I knocked a bottle of ink over me, some of it never came off.
13:36And so I've been inky ever since.
13:40So it is the beginning of ink and inky.
13:44This is how you write it.
13:47Start at the top.
13:49But I isn't a tall letter.
13:51So it's not as high as T.
13:54Down you go, round and a dot at the top.
13:59Inky got a picture of a pink party pig.
14:04Correct.
14:05For P we can use Inky's picture of the pink party pig.
14:10P, P, P.
14:13Oh, it's like when you puff out birthday candles.
14:15You can feel it.
14:16P, P, P.
14:18Oh, sorry Inky.
14:20That's right.
14:21And this is how you write P.
14:24Start at the top.
14:27But remember P is not a tall letter.
14:30All the way down.
14:33All the way back up.
14:36And round makes P.
14:38Now, the last sound in the first book is...
14:42Nnnnnng, just like a nasty, noisy aeroplane.
14:49Nnnnnng.
14:50That's right, B.
14:51A nasty, noisy aeroplane.
14:54You can come down now and I'll show you how to write N.
15:01Start at the top.
15:03But it's not a tall letter.
15:07Down, back up and over you go.
15:11Right, that's all the sounds and pictures we need.
15:15So, stand by.
15:17Coming up, one book.
15:20Oh, don't forget the one for the ants.
15:23Da, da, da, da.
15:26Our very first book.
15:28Look at that.
15:32Cool.
15:33We're trying to give a hand.
15:38O, E, U, R, S, D, U, P, W, X, Y, Z.
15:48We're trying to give a hand.
