Teach Your Children Well

The nice thing about having more than one kid is that sometime when you do the "work" once with the first kid, they take over and do the work for you on the second. For example, yesterday Brian and I overheard Michael and David reading a book together. David had chosen the word "INSECT" to try and teach Michael to read. "What does the 'I' say?" he asked his little brother. "Ih" says Michael. "Good! Now what does the 'N' say?" "Ennn," says Michael. And so on and so forth until they have sounded out the whole word, at which point David guides Michael in putting all of the sounds together to get INSECT. Nice work, David. I couldn't have done it better myself.
