Vanessa the Vampire wants to snack on a lime popsicle, but she can't get there without help! Students have to draw a line from Vanessa to the closest long vowel "a" word that's scattered among different words on the page. Then, they draw another line to the next long vowel "a" word, and so on, until they make it to the popsicle at the bottom of the page. It's a great way for students to practice sounding out words carefully since all the words on the page contain the letter "a."
