Hooked On Phonics..

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?
