ENC 1101

Here’s something to think about


This weeks lesson - - air and are

Why is stair (when talking about using your eyes) is spelled stare
 But when it is pronounced and read <<(red)>>
 it says star   <<<<(st –are)>>>>
Well – that’s at least based on what we know about reading the word ‘are’ and the word ‘air’

When it comes to air and are the same goes for the word bare that sounds like bear which is sad because the word bear really says beer based on the word ‘ear’
if we really just go based on sounding things out

And bare really says bar <<<considering when it is sounded out b-are>>>
And bear is sounded out as bair <<<<considering what we were told it truly spells >>>>


Next week lesson -   -  -ead

Read as in red such as head and dead and lead <<(as in led)>>
Which can be confused by the word read such as bead and lead which is pronounced based on heed and deed



It’s all elementary my dere <<based on mere>>
 or is it deer,
no -
I know for a fact it’s dear


It’s sad because I can go on and on and on – especially for and early childhood educatior.
I have to teach exactly what I believe is so stupid and contradicting yet the challenge and the way in which the mind has learned to transmit it and retain it is an art all of it own and I for one am into all aspects of the arts

What is so great about this is that although it is contradicting and may seem overwhelming and confusing, all of this is mastered by the tender age of six and only freshened up and strengthen no later than the following year. Do not under-estimate the mind of the young. Taught and guided right, they will blow you out of sight.
