A note for Grandma says "I hav a dog," and because Grandma will read it, we read it again word by word and add a detail, brown, so the dog in her thought bubble turns from grey to brown. Then we check each word and fix the spelling, since have ends with an e, and the video ends with the note before and after and the three steps: read again, add, fix.
