But we don't know how to play The wizard of wor. It's like other games we played. We can figure it out. You sound like mrs. Framish. She said that yesterday. She was talking about video games? You know, she was talking about reading. You connect what you already know With what's on the page To help understand it better. Look, darth vader's done. I'll go get some more quarters from dad. Go save the game. storylords! Where's wizard of wor? Lexor! What are you doing here? I should ask the same of you. An apprentice storylord must remember his duty. What do you mean? The ring.

Hey, come back. Who are you talking to? Just myself. Dad says I have to go. We can play this next time. That's ok. There's something i've got to do. Read the magic poem And peddle as fast as I can. "thunder and lightning, "trumpets and drums, "readers rejoice! A storylord comes!" Hi! Marko? My name is Norbert. I've come to help you. It's true. I'm an apprentice storylord Sent here to the land of Mojuste To combat the wicked storylord Thorzuul. It's true! Really! Cross my heart and hope to die. What seems to be the trouble? Thorzuul->>that's not hard to figure out-- Gave you this scroll... Wanted you to perform What was written on the scroll. You couldn't understand it. Thorzuul... Said he would turn you into stone If you didn't perform as he wished. How long till he comes back? 24 hours. 1 day. Hmm. "it floats on the wind, "you stand on the ground. "if you pull its tail, It won't make a sound." Don't worry, marko. I know someone who can help. See you tomorrow after school. Home. ...found on page 103 in your reading books. So open your books to page 103. But before we talk about this story, Does anyone remember what we talked about yesterday? Simon? Connecting what's in our head With what's on the page When we read something. Norbert, is something wrong? No. I was thinking of a friend who needs help Understanding something he has to read. Maybe you'll help him after class. I hope so. Usually, a book uses many pictures and words To tell a story. But today we'll look at A special kind of book That tells a story only with pictures. Amy? How will we know what the story is? We'll look for clues in the picture. We'll think about What the characters are doing, What they might be thinking or saying, Where they are. You'll be surprised At how much of the story You can figure out from the picture. Look at the title page. What do you see? Jason? A kite flying over a town. Good. This story is called the kite's adventure. Guess what it's about. Someone let go of their kite. It flies all over by itself. Very good. You both looked at the pictures And used your imaginations To figure out the story. Let's look at the first page of the story. We're going to use our imaginations To connect the clues we see in the pictures With what we already know. Just like you connect puzzle pieces. Right. You'll be amazed At how much information you can get From one picture. Do we just look at it? Yes and no. Some information is on the page. A lot is in your head. Let's look at the first picture. Now, here's the sun. What does the sun tell us? It's daytime. Good. What are some other clues? What do they tell us? It's warm out. He's wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It's summer. The leaves are green. The flowers are out. So it's a warm summer day. The boy is flying his kite. What do you think will happen next? The kite string will break, And the kite will fly away. What clues made you think that? You can tell it's windy. The trees are bent, And the title page shows A kite flying by itself. Let's find out if you're right. Very good! You got clues from the picture. You put them together With what's in your head, And you figured out the story. You made connections Between the picture and what's in your head. holy kamoly! that's how marko can solve his riddle! You have to connect what's on the page With what's in your head. Listen. "it floats on the wind." What things float on the wind? A bird. An airplane. A cloud. "you stand on the ground." That's pretty obvious. "if you pull its tail, It won't make a sound." It couldn't be a bird, could it? It can't be an airplane Because you can't pull its tail. What else floats And has a tail you can pull While you stand on the ground? I think you've got it! [engine sounds] And just in time. Milkbreath. His royal badness Thorzuul. Thank you. If it isn't our half-pint friend From the land of the mortals. Interfering again, eh? No. Helping. You're as helpful as an ant colony at a picnic. Milkbreath, our collection shall soon have 2 new statues, Or should I say 1 1/2? Well, marko, enough of this idle chitchat. I'm ready for your performance. Begin or be stone. But--you can't. You figured out my riddle! He connected what he read With what was in his head, Like any good reader does. You... I'll get you.
