Instructions: The instructor reads an excerpt from Treadwell Reader's story, 'The Three Little Pigs.' The instructor pronounces the dashed words phonetically and asks children to call out the words.

Then the wolf said, "Little pig, I know of a fine field of turnips."

"Where is i-t?" said the pig.

"Down in the field," said the wolf. "Will you g-o with me?

I will call for you in the morning. Then we can get some for dinner."

"I will be ready," said the pig. "What time shall we g-o?"

"At six o'clock, " said the wolf.

The little pig got up at five o'clock, and he went to the field.

He got some turnips and ran h-o-me.

The wolf came at six o'clock.

He knocked at the d-oo-r and said, "Little pig, are you ready?"

"I went at five o'clock," said the pig, "and I have a p-o-t full of turnips."
