Read together

Coach: Warm-up time. I say one. You say many. One person.

Learner: Many people. That one feels easy.

Coach: One foot on the line.

Learner: Many feet. Not foots — I remember.

Coach: Good. Look at the picture. One fish in the pond.

Learner: Many fish. It stays the same, right?

Coach: Yes. Now smile. One tooth.

Learner: Many teeth. That vowel jumps.

Coach: Last one for today. One leaf on the path.

Learner: Many leaves. Like the ones under the tree.

Coach: Put them together: one person, two people; one foot, two feet.

Learner: One tooth, many teeth. One leaf, many leaves. And fish stays fish!

Coach: Clear. Tomorrow we add mouse and mice. For now, stamp your feet and cheer.

Learner: People with strong feet and clean teeth — ready for more leaves on the trail!
