Meet the cast — the characters who teach this

  • Camel drops a bracket now and then and runs words together — you teach him
  • Paren makes sure every action word has its pair of round brackets
  • Curly watches every block open and close
  • Quotie keeps words inside their quotes
  • Colon reads every symbol as a sentence
