Deleting phonics
April 16, 2013
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.

D: What’s a travel kettle?
Me: It’s a little mini-kettle so I can make a cup of tea when we’re on holiday in the hotel.
D: But they might already have a machine for making a cup of tea.
Me: They do have kettles, but you have to pay lots of money to borrow them. I want to take a little one with us so I don’t run out of money for other things.
D: Like ice cream?
Me: Yes, ice cream and kids club – it would be a disaster if I had no money left for you to go to kids club!
D: I LOVED kids club in France! We have to MAKE SURE we get a travel kettle.
