My five-year old students are learning to read. Yesterday
one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said, "Hey,
look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
Startled, I took a deep breath, and then asked... "What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it did...
'A f r i c a n Elephant'
Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?
