We've been working on phonics with Ryanne. The other day, we were working on the letter C in a workbook I picked up. This one wanted her to pick the words that started with the letter C.
I pointed at the picture of the cake.
M: What's this?
R: Icing?
M: Well, yes, but what's the icing on?
R: Chocolate? (It was a chocolate cake)
M: *sigh* Yes, but a chocolate what?
R: Cake?
M: YES! Does that start with "kuh"?
R: YES!
It never dawned on me that working to give her a HUGE vocabulary would be detrimental to teaching her to read. Clearly we need a different style of workbook.
