Maya has a blue ball. Her dog, Pip, loves the ball too. “Ready, Pip?” Maya asks. She throws the ball. Pip runs fast. The ball rolls under a chair. Pip comes back with a shoe. Maya laughs. “That is a shoe. Where is the blue ball?” Pip runs away again. This time he comes back with a book. “That is my book!” says Maya. “Where is the blue ball?” Pip puts his nose under the chair. He jumps back. Then he barks. Maya looks under the chair. The blue ball is there. “Good dog, Pip!” Maya reaches for the ball, but Pip is faster. He takes it and runs to the door. Maya laughs again. “Now I know where the blue ball is!”

Nina sits by a small pond. One shoe and a green leaf are next to her foot. A fish swims close to the water’s edge. Nina lifts the shoe. “This is my shoe,” she says. The fish opens its mouth. “Do you want a shoe?” Nina asks. A bird on a branch looks down at them. Nina holds the shoe near the water. The fish swims in a little circle. “But you do not have a foot,” Nina says. She shows the fish her foot. The fish splashes. The bird makes a loud sound. Nina thinks. Then she puts the shoe back on her foot. She picks up the green leaf and puts it on the water. The fish swims under the leaf. “A green hat!” says Nina. The fish swims around with the leaf above it. Nina laughs. “No shoe for you. But that hat looks good.”

每個播放器旁的文字就是完整逐字稿，也可以開啟播放器下方的「逐字稿」。旁白使用生成語音。先聽一次故事，再重播或讀喜歡的部分，不必每句都跟讀。
故事結束後，再問旁邊的兩個問題。答案太難時，一起回到那個情節。孩子可以指出、畫圖或使用熟悉單字；問題不會用來解鎖下一篇故事。
Pip 拿錯東西
- 目標
- 把第一個故事的事件排順序。
- 準備
- 鞋子、書和球，或這些物品的圖畫。
步驟
- 閱讀或播放 Where Is the Blue Ball?
- 打亂三件物品或圖畫的順序，問 Pip 最先拿來什麼。
- 依故事順序排列：先 shoe，再 book，最後 ball。需要時回顧故事。
- 演出一個事件。邀請孩子說「Where is the blue ball?」，或由孩子指出，你來說。
- 成人協助
- 物品保持可見。這是重述遊戲，不是記憶測驗。
- 簡化玩法
- 先只用 shoe 和 ball，再加入 book。
改天畫 Leo 的香蕉帽，或在畫出的魚上方移動紙葉子。可以加入重複句、指出熟悉單字，或只是再聽一次。孩子想換步調時，可以試試動作歌曲。
這些是 Nativik 為共同進行初階英語練習編寫的原創故事。British Council 指引建議圖像支援和反覆分享熟悉故事。資料來源的 Cochrane 回顧與有結構的挪威學齡前研究，涉及較廣的介入措施，不是這些故事，也無法確立本故事集的特定學習增益。
