How the lesson starts: Reread and Self-Correct

1. Meet Zuri the zebra

   Hi friend! Meet Zuri the zebra. Zuri has a magic rewind button. When reading sounds silly, Zuri presses it. Zip! Zuri goes back and reads again.

2. Stop! That's silly

   Zuri reads: The fish can bark. Wait! Fish can't bark. Dogs bark! The word bark does not fit. When a word does not fit, Zuri stops.

3. Let's find the silly word

   Zuri reads: Sam has a pig. It can sing. Check each part. Sam has a pig. That's fine! It can. Fine! Sing? Can a pig sing? No! Sing is the word that does not fit. Tap sing.
