Meet Some of the Cast
Our cast of eight children.
Sophie
Teaches non-phonetic words like “the”. We call them Read Words because you can’t sound them out.
Bearly, the Bad Reader Bear
Students who have greater difficulty learning to read will relate to Bear-ly. He is afraid he will lose his friends, because he can’t read. The children and puppets encourage Bear-ly, and he learns to read with additional time and practice.
Consonant Man
Dressed in different costumes for each consonant sound.
Plays a different character for each consonant sound, for example:
- Trumpeter – T
- Librarian – L
- Rock Star – R
- Football Player - F
Jet Pilot
Teaches children to Skywrite words.
Miss Alice
Teaches the sound of short “a”.
Finger Spelling Hand
Teaches children to spell words with their fingers.
