English Pronunciation

Kimberlyn: Mom, spell AS
Mom: What did you say? (I am hearing it phonetically)
Kimberlyn: Spell AS
Mom: Are you trying to say ASK? If so, you really need to emphasize the K
Kimberlyn: How do you spell it?
Mom: I don't know; you tell me.
Kimberlyn: A S
Mom: Oh! You are seeing this word on your leapster and sounding it out. Very good! But it is pronounced AZ. :)

We are working on reading (and she is doing very well), but the sight words not making sense phonetically does make it a challenge from time to time. But I did not think about how funny it would be to hear them try (at least in this sense of funny).
