In this Martha Speaks interactive story, students learn about how to follow a manual to operate a new invention. From listing the materials, to instructions on how to put the parts together, you must complete all the steps in order to assemble the contraption. When used as a part of Martha’s True Stories Buddies Program, buddy pairs engage with the interactive story, then talk and write an advertisement for the Kibble Contraption, describing what it is and how it works. To familiarize yourself with the program, begin by reading the Martha's True Stories Buddies Program: Overview.
