CH 01 · LEARNING LAND · EPISODE L11
Murphy is flying his new kite on a windy hill above a lakeside campground, until a gust snaps the string and the kite floats away. Its long string trails across a cabin porch, where a kitten pounces on it, and then it lands on a picnic table, where a whistling kettle's puff of steam whooshes it up over the trees. Down at the lake it lands on an empty kayak that floats away, until a kind kingfisher takes the string in its beak and flies the kite back to Murphy.
Every one of them starts with the letter K. Can your Couch Buddy name them all?
K! K! K is kind! K! K! Here we go! Murphy flew a kite on a hill above the lake The wind gave a whoosh and the string gave a shake! It floated down the hill, it floated far away So hop up on the couch and let's chase it today! K, K, kite! (Kite!) K, K, kitten! (Kitten!) K, K, kettle, whistling on the stove! K, K, kayak, floating by the cove! K, K, kingfisher, flying through the sky! K is kind, wave hi, hi, hi! A kitten on the porch pounced on the string The kettle on the table went whee and whistling! Its steam blew the kite way up over the trees It landed on a kayak floating in the breeze! K, K, kite! (Kite!) K, K, kitten! (Kitten!) K, K, kettle, whistling on the stove! K, K, kayak, floating by the cove! K, K, kingfisher, flying through the sky! K is kind, wave hi, hi, hi! Here comes a kingfisher, swooping from the blue It took the string and flew the kite back, too! Back to Murphy on the dock, right where it should be Kind, kind, kind, kind as can be! What starts with K? (Kite!) What starts with K? (Kitten!) What starts with K? (Kettle!) What starts with K? (Kayak!) What starts with K? (Kingfisher!) Five kind things that start with K!

Download free PDFMurphy chases his kite around a lakeside campground, and every friend and thing he finds starts with the “k” sound in kite: kite, kitten, kettle, kayak and kingfisher. Each word pops up next to a big letter K, and Murphy says “K is for…” after each one, so kids see the letter and hear its sound together.
Open your mouth a little and make a quick “k,” like the start of kite or kitten. The back of the tongue pops up and lets go. It's the same sound C makes in cat.
Start at the top with a tall line straight down. Then, from the middle, slant in to touch the line and slant back out to the bottom. The Trace It game shows that order with arrows.
