At Allison's parent-teacher conference this week, the teacher showed me some examples of the work they've been doing in class. They're working on "phonemic awareness" (that's letter and word sounds, for the uninitiated), which includes rhyming exercises. The kids were given a list of words, then asked to write one that rhymed with the list. Allison's list:
yell
fell
tell
She added "hell"
Joel, at dinner this evening, was talking about letters and letter sounds too. We got to "D", and I asked him to name something that begins with "D."
He said "dam!"
