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?
