Grandma shows illustrated postcards to Snoozo and Zippy while Grandpa looks on beside three glowing treehouse portals and a wooden postcard box.

Grandma Blossom found a postcard with an empty message. Grandpa Oak unfolded a portal map. Mum Fern, Dad Moss and Zippy joined Snoozo at the table. “Word pieces can help us deliver it,” Grandma said. Snoozo joined post and card. “Postcard! Do we post a card—or card a post?” Dad laughed. “The first one.”

Talk together: Join POST and CARD in order to form POSTCARD. Explain why it is a compound word: two words joined into one. Read the whole word and connect its meaning to the story’s card.

Dad and Grandpa hold coloured clue cards while Snoozo reaches toward the glowing lock of a carved wooden portal gate.

The next portal was locked. “The base word is lock,” Grandpa said. Dad offered un. “A prefix goes at the beginning.” Snoozo placed un before lock: unlock. The gate opened. “Here, un reverses the action of locking,” said Grandpa. Snoozo grinned. “Useful. I was about to knock with my cushion.”

Talk together: Build UNLOCK from UN and LOCK. Name UN as a prefix and LOCK as the base word. Explain the change in meaning: lock secures a lock; unlock opens it. Prefix meanings depend on the word.

Grandma helps Snoozo prepare for delivery with a golden card, cap and satchel while Zippy watches beside a violet portal showing a lantern-lit bridge.

Grandma gave Snoozo a golden card, cap and satchel. Beyond the portal waited a misty bridge. “I hope we can find the way,” he said. Grandma offered ful. “Hope plus the suffix ful makes hopeful—feeling hope.” He read it and asked Grandma for help. “I can be hopeful and still ask.” The bridge lanterns glowed.

Talk together: Build HOPEFUL with HOPE and FUL. Notice that this suffix has one L; it is not spelled like the separate word full. Describe someone who feels hopeful, then explain how the ending changes hope.
