About

Nova and Grandpa take a telescope into the backyard at night, but at first Nova can't see a thing. In this narrated speech-language lesson for K-2, children match space words to pictures, learn that the Sun is a star, find the problem in Nova's story and choose how to fix it, answer what, what color and why questions about the Moon and Mars, put the story in order, learn a second meaning of the word ring, practice taking turns, and finish by catching everything you can see in the night sky. Every direction and answer choice can be heard aloud, and wrong answers get a spoken hint.
