- snow white -

kiara's still working on improving her reading & had just finished reading a book downstairs - she came up & was telling me about it & suggested she read it to me

`

i said, "sure" & then she let me know that they'd made a mistake in her book - i said, "a mistake...where?" - she said, "well, there's lots of mistakes, but the first one is on the front page, they didn't spell it right" - i read it to her..."snow white & the seven dwarfs" - she said, "yep, that's what i'm talking about, they didn't spell it right - they spelled it d.w.a.r.f.s. & it's supposed to be d.o.r.k.s. & then she smiled like 'see what i'm talking about!'

`

i explained to her that it was really supposed to be d.w.a.r.f.s. & sounded it out for her very slowly [emphasising every syllable] - she smiled embarrassed like & said, "well, that's not i've been calling them all my life!!"
