" Hooked On Phonics?"

WITH A FIVE YEAR OLD, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET, READ ON..

Jake is 5 and 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 "

Hooked on phonics! Isn't it wonderful?
