DS is learning how to write and read phonetically. His teacher has instructed us to encourage him to hear and replicate sounds without worrying too much about the spelling for right now. This week he has been working on his family tree which looks something like this:
Me: Cade
Birthplas: Oho
Momy: Cle (Kelly)
Birthplas: Oho
Dade: Shan
Birthplas: Oho
Granma: Joode
Birthplas: Oho
Granpa: Donld
Birthplas: Tenac (Tennesee!)
Other places of interest include Indeana and Kentuce. I think that he has passed hillbilly spelling 101!
I think that this underscores the rationale behind using both phonics and whole language in unison!
