Learning to read. . .

Since we are at the "learning to read" stage with Luke, I found this forward to be absolutely HILARIOUS!

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 '

Phonics! Aren't they wonderful?
