Little red hen and red's friends won't help!

We've got to find out

Little red hen? [ Chicks chirping ]

We're the super readers

And we want to talk to you.

Looks like you have a big problem.

Cluckity-cluck! I'm out of luck!

I promised to bake bread for my baby chicks.

I've got too much to do, too much to do!

I have to pick the corn,

Peel the corn, grind the corn,

And bake the corn bread. See?

And no one will help me!

I know just how you feel.

[ Sigh ] so I must do it all by myself.

First I must pick the corn from the cornfield.

Here I go.

[ Scream ] the cornfield!

It's... It's... It's empty!

No corn means... No corn bread!

Oh my peas!

There's no corn!

What can I do?

I can make corn for this cornfield!

We need to sing the alphabet.

♪ Sing with me ♪ [ giggle ]

Amazing alphabet singing!

Now we need to find all of the letters

In the word "corn".

Super readers, where's the letter "c"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there it is! "C"!

Next, we need the letter "o".

Where's the "o"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: "o". Okay!

Let's see...

Now we need the letter "r".

Where's the "r"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: I see it! "R"!

And now, the letter "n".

Where's that "n"?

Children: there it is!

Alpha pig: "n", right there.

Lickety letters!

We built the word "corn"

And grew a field of corn.

Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up!

Wha! Cluckity-cluck!

I'm in luck!

Thank you, thank you.

Don't forget to look for super letters.

Let's take a bow.

Phew! The wagon stopped,

But the corn kept going.

Right to the mill.

Cluckity-cluck, it's time to shuck!

Shuck?

Peel the corn.

Cuts the corn,

But I'll need help.

Who will help me shuck the corn?

Not i.

[ Derisive ] "not i! Not i! Not i!"

Ugh! That's all they ever say.

It says so in my story.

See?

I'll never finish the corn bread

For my chicks, never!

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read,

I can change this story and save the day!

Let's change the words "say, 'not i.'"

In this sentence. Zap it with me.

Ready, set... Zzzap!

Why writer, write!

Super readers, what should hen's friends do

Instead of saying "not i"?

"Moo", "hop", or "listen"?

Let's try "moo".

Which word is "moo"?

I think it has two "o"s in it.

Children: that one!

That's it! "Moo"!

Let's zap "moo" into our sentence.

Ready, set... Zzzap!

Now let's read.

Moo! Moo!

Moo! [ Honk ]

Did the word "moo" help the little red hen

Get help from her friends?

[ Mooing ]

Children: no!

No!

Let's try a different word.

Super readers,

If someone wants to tell you something,

What should you do?

"Moo", "hop" or "listen"?

Let's try "listen".

Which word is "listen"?

Children: that one!

There it is!

Let's zap "listen" into the sentence.

Ready, set... Zzzap!

Now let's read.

All: we're listening!

Cluckity-cling, you're listening!

Now I can tell you why I need you to help me.

Why do you need our help?

[ Honking ] yes, why?

Cluck! I'm baking corn bread

For all of my baby chicks.

They need lots of food so they can grow!

Woof-woof! You do need our help!

You can count on us!

Cluckity-cluck! I'm in luck!

Super job, super readers!

We changed the story

And got little red hen's friends to help!

You see super letters?

Which ones?

Children: "l"! "H"!

"L" and "h"?

Let's put them in our super duper...

Computer!

[ Gasp ] we found all of our super letters!

Now we can get our super story answer.

I need help to...

Eat the bread!

Who will help me?

Not i. Not i. Not i.

Just kidding. I will!
