Joji: (yawns) Oh...hi there! Sorry, I-I'm a little sleepy since I didn't get to sleep much last night. I was up very late, but I can sleep. (yawns)

Marj: Hi, Joji!

Joji: Oh, hi, Marj.

Marj: Hey, Joji, I have something to tell you about my experience yesterday. This will just be quick.

Joji: Oh, okay. I would love to listen.

Marj: Great! Okay, so yesterday, I was watering my plants, and then suddenly, I heard somebody crying for help.

Lizard: "Help! Help!"

Marj: When I checked behind the plants, I saw this lizard whose tail was stuck behind on a newly painted fence! He didn't notice that the paint was still wet. He said he has been there for more than an hour! He was asking for help, and you know what happened?

Joji: Well, let me guess, you-you helped him? And then he thanked you, and then you became friends.

Marj: Huh? Y-yes, that's exactly what happened. Um, where you there?

Joji: Huh? (yawns) No, I wasn't.

Marj: Then how did you know what happened?

Joji: Inference.

(the word 'inference' pops up in blue)

Marj: Oh, inference.

Joji: Inference.

Marj: Ah, anyway, I have another story I want to share.

Joji: Okay, go ahead.

Marj: Okay, so the other day, my mama asked me to clean the front of our house. When I came out, my playmates were there, and invited me to play with them, but I said "I can't. I have to do first what mama asked me to do!" So, I started cleaning. I can hear them playing hide and seek. I can hear their laughs! And you know what happened?

Joji: Let me guess, you stopped cleaning and you joined them.

Marj: What?

Joji: And-and-and you mom got mad at you because you didn't do your chores.

Marj: Hey, did you talk to my mama?

Joji: No, I didn't.

Marj: But how did you know what happened?

Joji: Inference.

Marj: Okay, how were you able to infer those things?

Joji: Well, (yawns) you see, in your first story, you described well that he was stuck for an hour, and he was crying and really needed help. And knowing you, you won't just leave someone in that situation or do nothing about it. And I know for a fact that you will do anything you can to help those who are in need, especially because he is a lizard too. So, my inference was that you helped him.

Marj: Okay, fair enough. What about in my second story?

Joji: Well, (yawns) you said how happy they were playing, and that you saw and heard them laughing. That piece of information, plus I know that you, Marj, cannot resist play and games! These made me infer that you played with him instead of cleaning up.

Marj: Oh, you know me so well, Joji.

Joji: And, I know your mama, (laughs) that she gets mad when you don't finish your chores.

Marj: Right! She did get mad.

Joji: (laughs) That's inference!

Marj: So, you can tell how a story will end, simply by inference?

Joji: Most of the time, yeah. You just have to analyze and study the information available.

(we see Ogot in a movie theater)

Ogot: We make inferences every day, even when choosing what movie to watch. Just by reading the title of the movie, we can infer what kind of story it is. Hmm, "The Adventures of the Beardless Goat". Sounds interesting! There's probably a lot of action scenes there, and maybe lots of characters!

(he walks to the next poster)

Ogot: How about this? "G.O.A.T: (G-O-A-T) Gratest of All Time". And look at this basketball player! This is obviously about him, and how he became the greatest. See? Titles make you infer on what the movie is all about!

(he walks to the next poster)

Ogot: Hey, wait! "The First Goat in Space". This is definitely a science fiction, which I love! Well, looks like I found my movie. See you around!

(colorful wave transition)

(we see Marj on a tree)

Marj: Do you remember what happened in Para's story? Let's see. Arrange these pictures in order! 'The children cheered, and Para took a bow.'

(the mostleft picture takes up the screen)

Marj: 'Dr. and Mrs. Reggie went to the police, and told them what happened to Para.'

(the left picture takes up the screen)

Marj: 'Para realized that she needs to find Dr. and Mrs. Reggie.'

(the right picture takes up the screen)

Marj: 'The Reggies give the police officer a picture of Para.'

(the rightmost picture takes up the screen)

Marj: Now, which one happened first? This one? How about this?

(the left and rightmost pictures light up)

Marj: Yes, 'Dr. and Mrs. Reggie went to the police, and told them what happened to Para.'

(the rightmost picture dims, while the left picture is given a '1')

Marj: What's next? Was it this one, or maybe when Para realized she misses her family?

(the right and rightmost pictures light up)

Marj: It's this one. The Reggies gave the policeman a picture of Para.

(the right picture dims, while the rightmost picture is given a '2')

Marj: What happened next?

(the left and right pictures light up)

Marj: Right! The children admired Para's dancing and singing.

(the right picture dims, while the leftmost picture is given a '3')

Marj: And finally, 'Para realized that she needs to find Dr. and Mrs. Reggie.'

(the leftmost picture dims, while the leftmost picture is given a '4')

Marj: Great job, guys! Now, we are ready to continue the story. Let's listen to Joji.

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Now, let's continue with the story of Para, the Brave and Beautiful. Story by Basa Pilipinas.

(page flip)

Joji: 'The sun starts to set in the west. Para flies east, away from the market. She must search for some fruits and food she can eat. She is having fun, but wants to go home. There are many cars on the road, because it is the end of the work day. Then, she sees something!'

(page flip)

Joji: 'Para stops flying, and lands on top of a parked car. She sees a policeman, and he is directing traffic. He is also dancing! Para has never seen a policeman dance. The policeman is happy and is smiling. Para wants to learn more about this man. She slowly walks toward him. She doesn't want to move too fast. She stops near the policeman's leg, and looks up at him.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'The policeman sees Para and is surprised. Para does not fear this man.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'She hops up to his arm, and they dance together. All the people on the street clap and cheer. The polcieman and dear Para take a bow. It is clear that they are stars.' Wow, Para is putting on quite a show.

(page flip)

Joji: Do you think Para is still worried about being away from home? What do you think?

(page flip)

Joji: We will continue the story of Para, the Brave and Beautiful, next time.

(we see James in his room)

James: Yo, what's up? It's James Lez Read here, back again with our two vowels! Do you remember this? When you put two letter E's together, they make the sound...'Ee'!

(the sound 'Ee' pops up in yellow)

James: That's right, but today, we will put the two letter E's together with the letter R. 'Ee', 'R', 'Eer'.

(the sound 'Eer' pops up in yellow)

James: Say it with me! 'Eer'. (beat) 'Eer'. (beat) 'Eer'. Great! Now, let's read some words with 'Eer'.

(colorful wave transition)

(we see a dear)

James: 'D', 'eer', 'deer ''. Read it with me! Dear.

(we see a boy and his friends)

James: 'P', 'eer', 'peer ''. Now, you read it! (beat) Good job.

(we see the same boy winning a marathon)

James: This one uses the diagraph 'Ch'.

(the diagraph 'Ch' grows in green)

'Cheer'. 'Ch', 'eer', 'cheer ''. Your turn to read!

(colorful wave transition)

James: Let's practice some more! Look at the pictuer, and find the correct word. Are you ready? Let's go.

(colorful wave transition)

(we see the boy winning a marathon, with the words 'Deer', 'Cheer', and 'Steer' below in red)

James: Here's the first one!

(the word 'Cheer' turns green)

James: Cheer. This is the correct answer. Cheer.

(we see a deer, with the words 'Peer', 'Sheer', and 'Deer' below in red)

James: This is a deer. Did you get it right? Deer.

(the word 'Deer' turns green)

(we see the boy with his friends, with the words 'Peer', 'Steer', and 'Cheer' below in red)

James: Peer. Correct! This is the word we're looking for. Peer.

(the word 'Peer' turns green)

(colorful wave transition)

James: Were you able to get them all? Great! (laughs)

Marj: Hmm, you look a little less energetic today. What happened?

Joji: Uh, well, why don't you infer? Last night, I started reading this book that I borrowed. I said to myself that I'm going to read a few chapters, and then I'm going to sleep, but as I read through the story, each chapter gets more exciting. I-I coudn't put the book down! I didn't notice the time. I was able to finish the whole book, but when I looked at the clock...It's way past midnight. And this morning, I woke up early. So...with my lack of sleep...I feel the need to rechage.

Marj: You lack energy because you didn't have enough sleep.

Joji: Yes, that's right, but, you know what? Thank you for being with me here. I loved your story.

Marj: I think I know a way for you to recharge.

Joji: Really? What is it?

(Marj dances)

Joji: Me? You have to do it, too. Come on!

(he dances along with Marj)

Joji: (laughs) You know what, Marj? I think it's-I think it's working! (laughs)

(Marj laughs)

Marj: Come on! Let's go outside!

Joji: Outside, okay! (laughs) Woo! I'll be right with you. Hey, thank you for being with us today, we'll see you again next time, and we hope you had a great time because my room is your room.

Joji&Marj: Goodbye!
