sickness + reading levels
We seem unable to keep Gentry healthy. He is not feeling well, again. So jj and I are taking turns hanging out with him today. We are currently watching, what I assume is the last cartoon on network tv. All claymation and spanish speaking, “Capeetan!” That would be spanish in english phonetics.
JJ’s boss, is a quick talking whitty genius. When I meet with him I have to write down all the words I don’t know and then go look them up later. I can show you the lists. This only becomes difficult because I am writing the words down in Makayla phonetics since I don’t know many large words and then I have to try to figure out what he said from the weird thing I spelled. I am predicting that Gentry and I are on the same reading level. Pre-kindergarten.
I have been teaching Gentry to read, so that I can get his kindergarten teacher to hate me. Is it just me or does it seem that I have heard horror stories of teachers being pissed about kids who can read? Anyway, the point of this is that we have been sounding out the letters. And are you aware C and K make the same sounds, unless they don’t or if preceded by ie. Also C and S. I mean for real. I don’t even know how to explain this to the kid. Hopefully as we progress through the book this will be explained. IE. When God created reading and dinosaurs he really wanted to trip us up, hence euoplocephalus. Which being pronounced is yu-OP-lo-SEF-ah-lus. Obviously.
