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?
