Mina stood outside the sunny library door. Warm light shone on the steps. The air smelled like grass and paper. Three tiny friends hovered near her: Pip, a purple bird; Dot, a round yellow star; and Sam, a blue fox with soft ears.
Above the door, a sign glowed.
R E A D
Mina reached for the handle. It did not move.
“Maybe the door is sleepy,” Mina said.
Pip gave a tiny chirp. “Maybe the sign needs your voice.”
Mina looked up. The letters twinkled like little toy lights. A small silver key appeared under the sign. It floated just out of reach.
“What should I say?” Mina asked.
“Look at the letters,” said Sam. “We can say each sound.”
Mina pointed to the first letter. “Rrrr.”
The sign glowed red.
She pointed to the next letter. “Eee.”
Nothing happened.
Mina’s shoulders drooped. “I tried.”
Dot bobbed close. “That was a good try. Let’s listen again. The letter E can say /ĕ/, like in egg.”
“/ĕ/,” Mina said.
The silver key moved a little lower.
Mina smiled. She touched the next letter. “Aaa.”
Pip shook his head kindly. “This letter is D. It says /d/, like dog.”
“/d/,” said Mina.
The key dropped into Mina’s hands with a soft ping.
“One more letter,” Sam said.
Mina looked at the last letter. “/r/.”
The sign flashed. The letters joined together.
“Read,” Mina said.
The door clicked.
Mina turned the key. The door opened with a gentle swish. Cool air brushed her cheeks. Inside were tall shelves, soft rugs, and the sweet smell of books.
“We are in!” Mina cried.
Pip flew through first. Dot spun in a happy circle. Sam held the door for Mina.
Then the silver key gave a tiny wiggle in her hand. A new word appeared on it:
CAT
Mina blinked. “Is that the book we need?”
Sam pointed to the shelves. “Maybe. But the library has many books. We must sound out more words to find the right one.”
Mina held the key close. “Then we can do it together.”
The friends walked onto the soft rug. Mina traced the letters on the key.
“Can you help us find the sounds in CAT?” she asked.
