Welcome to Storyline Online Brought to you by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation I’m Nicole Byer and today I’m going to read Too Much Glue Written by Jason Lefebvre and illustrated by Zac Retz Our art teacher says, “Too much glue never dries.” She reminds us, “Glue raindrops, not puddles!” And she warns me, “Matty, too much glue!” But my dad and I love glue!
2
At home, we make glue glasses, glue mustaches, and even glue bouncy balls.
3
Mom is happy to help.
4
So during art class, I find the fullest bottles of glue.
5
I tip them over and squeeze.
6
Plooooop! Glue squishes from the orange tips and slops all over.
7
Sequins and googly eyes float around in a gluey lake.
8
Then it’s time for the most important decoration… “Geronimo!” I belly flop onto the table and roll around, letting the glue and everything else cover me.
9
“Time to go on the drying rack!” I announce.
10
But when I try to pull myself off the table, I boing right back down!
11
“Too much glue, Matty!
12
Too much glue!” my teacher squawks.
13
This is bad.
14
There’s only half an hour until the end of school, and all I can do is lift my head, wave my hands, and wiggle my feet.
15
The rest of me is a blucky stucky mess!
16
“Can somebody help me?” I call.
17
While my teacher breathes into a paper bag, Noah shouts, “Let’s lasso him!” Izzy, Noah, and Owen get to work.
18
Soon I’m roped from all sides like a rodeo pony.
19
But when they try to pull me out… S N A P !
20
The lassoes break, leaving colorful octopus tentacles everywhere.
21
The glue is too strong, and now I’m a clingy stringy, blucky stucky mess.
22
“Don’t worry, Matty. We know what to do!” shout Luke and Grace from across the room.
23
“Is that a tow truck?” I ask as they wheel the contraption over and stick a plastic hook into my suit of glue.
24
My friends pull one way and the glue pulls the other – Creak!
25
Click! Creak!
26
Click! – until… KABOOOM!
27
The tow truck explodes and plastic bricks rain all over.
28
Now I’m a clicky bricky, clingy stringy, blucky stucky mess.
29
The school nurse bursts in and checks my temperature.
30
“98.6. Sorry. No fever.
31
I can’t send you home early. ” She dabs and pats me like I’m spilled juice, but the more she blots, the more the glue spreads.
32
Soon I’m a melted mummy, clicky bricky, clingy stringy, blucky stucky mess.
33
Then the principal comes in.
34
He takes one look at me, sticks a note on my belly, and leaves.
35
Seeing my teacher huffing and puffing like a train gives me a great idea.
36
I whisper it to Hailey and Owen.
37
The final bell rings and everyone freezes – except Owen and Hailey.
38
“It’s the biggest one we could make!” they shout, furiously flapping a huge paper fan at me.
39
Then, just as I’m thinking I’ll be a note-on-my-tummy, melted mummy, clicky bricky, clingy stringy, blucky stucky glue boy for the rest of my life, my plan works!
40
Something my teacher said could never happen, happens: the glue dries!
41
But I’m still stuck, and now I hear footsteps… The door starts to open… My father and some other carpool parents walk in.
42
Dad comes closer and inspects me.
43
Then he peels me off the table – glue, yarn, bricks, and all.
44
He spins me around.
45
No one makes a sound.
46
Then Dad smiles.
47
“Matty, you’re a masterpiece!” He holds me up for everyone to admire.
48
My friends all cheer.
49
The car ride home is interesting.
50
Mom is speechless when Dad brings me in the house, but he knows just what to do.
51
“Well, kiddo,” Dad says, “some beautiful things only happen once, and this is one of those things.” He gently grips the dried glue in front of my neck and behind my collar – and peels me open like a ripe banana!
52
Now it’s Dad’s turn to glue, and he seals up the sides of the me-shaped work of art.
53
“I bet it would take all the glue in the art room to make a YOU-shaped work of art, Dad!” I say.
54
Dad laughs.
55
Then he glues a big magnet to the back of my project and hangs it on the fridge.
56
During dinner, we sneak peeks at my masterpiece.
57
And after Dinner… …we take the principal’s note very seriously.
58
Please encourage Matty to use tape instead of glue.
59
I like this book a whole bunch because I feel like when I was a kid, I had adults be like “Don’t do that. Don’t do that.” But this kid in this book follows his instincts and he makes a beautiful work of art that his parents appreciate.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
