As I said in the below post - Peter is starting to show signs of sounding out words and learning to read. It has stirred up some interesting conversations in my house that prove to me that I really need to be quicker on my feet with answers if I am going to keep up with this kid.
Setting - we are reading books one night, and in the story the word "book" came up.
Peter - Mommy, that doesn't spell "book".
Me - Yes it does, let's sound it out. What does a "B" say?
Peter - Ba
(We go through each letter and say all the sounds)
Me - See, you put that together and it says "Book"
Peter - Well there are two "O"s - that says ooo, like "zoo" or "boo", so it says BoooK (use the "OO" sound in Zoo or Boo).
Me - Well, when there is a "K" after the Os the two "O"s make a different sound, so they say "Book".
Peter - I think you are saying it wrong. Can you finish reading me the boook (again with the "oo" sound in zoo).
