Hooked on Phonics . . . . and Elephants

My five year-old students are learning to read. Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said, "Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"

I took a deep breath, then asked, "What did you call it?"

"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"

And so it does...

Hey, what can I say? We are hooked on phonics!
