Rapunzel reported for her school lessons tonight.


Writing letters carefully

reading some simple stories!

She got all decked out in a fancy dress, many headbands to hold up a huge long blanket on her head, and a crown, and told me that Rapunzel was ready to do school.  hahaa!  She's reading simple words!

Tonight she sounded out the letters "A - N - T".  She eventually said, "Ant!" and I said, "Yes, you got it right!" She looked confused and said "What's an ant?"  I drew a picture of the little black bug with 6 legs and she said, "No, mom, that's an a-yunt!" like it had two syllables.  Funny.  I had to explain that ant is pronounced with one sound, not two.  She seemed to get it.

  1. It is interesting how they have perceived sounds.

    My bother Steve always said "this enafternoon" and didn't realize for the longest time that the "en" wasn't a part of the word but it always sounded that way!
