Son: I wish it was a school day.
Mum: Are you looking forward to seeing all your friends again?
Son: Yes… Except for phonics. I hate phonics. I wish they could just DELETE phonics.
Mum: Why don’t you like phonics? Ah that’s where you make lots of different sounds isn’t it? Where you go “ai”, “ee”, “oo”, “th”, “ng”?
Son: Yeah – it’s boring. We just do the SAME thing over and over and over again.
Mum: Do you find it easy or hard?
Son: It’s easy. And boring.
