Hooked on phonics
My first grade 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 . . .
African Elephant
Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?
