Hooked on phonics?


My five-year old students are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
I took a deep breath, then asked..."What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it does...
" A f r i c a n Elephant "

Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?

It's cool outside - hurry run out there before it goes away.
