hooked on phonics

kelsi does so well in school-she even got straight A's this year...but she has never been a naturally strong reader or speller. kelsi reads and spells phonetically...which as everyone knows is not how the english language works. so as we were reading the scriptures the other night she read "...and in their snogs" and i said "it says snogs in the scriptures?" and she said "what you don't believe me?" and i looked where she was at and it read "...and in their synagogues" we had a good laugh-she's such a good sport...and i hope she knows how proud i am that she works so hard at something that doesn't come naturally. (a side note: kaden said i know what a snog is-a kiss. i forgot that is what they call it in harry potter)

I am sure that was a great laugh. How funny.
That is exactly how my Kayden reads. This darn English.....
