The baby who will soon turn six 🙁  is deep into trying to read.  He is one of those that you really don’t have to do much encouraging.  He is constantly sounding out words.  Such a blessing!

The other day he picked up the Contenders for the Faith book and started sounding out a word.

Fuh

Aah

I

Tuh

Huh

Then we reminded him that the I makes the A say it’s name.

Fuh

Ay

Tuh

Huh

Then upon showing him my thumb he remembers that TH together makes the THuh sound.

Fuh

Ay

THuh

…

Faith!

That’s right what does faith mean?

Faith in Jesus Christ!

Good, but what does faith mean?

Long pause….

Faith a little girl at church.

We, of course, couldn’t help but laugh about that.
