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?
