Today, she told me that school and schoolbus match, because they sound alike! (Well, duh, but I wasn't about to tell her that!)
Then she tried another pair - syrup and service car! Unfortunately, I didn't understand the second word, so she sat there a minute trying the phrase out... "Servi... serva... car..." before coming up with car service!!!. And so, another cute phrase bites the dust, never to be seen again.
On a similar note, she's also been doing a bit of work with her workbooks lately. She thinks it's fun, and who am I to argue? Keeps her quiet while her sister is napping, anyway. One she likes now is on "beginning sounds", which is a great book, matching words that alliterate or rhyme or whatnot - but she cheats. She doesn't say the words and listen to the sounds, she's already figured out that she can look at the letters and guess!
On the one hand, this is reallycoolawesomeWOW!!!! but on the other hand, sooner or later the letters are going to lie to her. Cake and cede don't alliterate, bough and tough don't rhyme, and there are any number of poems to make this point.
But I guess she's figuring out that words are made of sounds without help from the books, so it's good.
