Adeline Addax
By Tay Phillips
Patter, splatter, splash… splat, splash…
“Ahh!” Adeline spat out loud as she ran.
Adeline is a panicked addax!
Adeline is safe. That zookeeper added more water to sip.
“What is that?”
“Ahh!”Adeline gasped.
Adeline ran.
Crackle, snap, patter, patter, patter… crackle...
Adeline snapped up fast and asked, what was that?”
“Snacks, Adeline!” The zookeeper called.
Adeline ran, and did not yell, “Ahh!” Adeline smacked her lips and snacked.
Adeline Addax says, “Ahh” like the short vowel “A” says “Ahh.”
Trace the footsteps in the order that Adeline ran in the story.
· First, say the letter name, “A,” while you trace the first line (follow the blue arrow).
· Next, say the letter sound, “Ahh,” as you trace the second line (follow the green arrow).
· And last, say the memory words “Adeline Addax” as you trace the third line (follow the orange arrow).
You just traced the letter, “A,” and now you know the sound of short vowel “A”!
