Elephant Phonics
With a five year old, what you see is what you get...
Little Johnny is learning to
read.
He points at a picture in a zoo book and says,
“Look Mama!
It's a frickin' Elephant!”
Deep breath...
“What did
you call it?”
“It's a
frickin' Elephant, Mama! It says so on the picture!”
... and so it does:
A F R I C A N Elephant
Ain't phonics wonderful?
