Sounding it out

We were at the market buying chicken. As we waited, Ivy pointed to a sign on the glass case and said "Does that say 'chicken'?"

Aha! A teaching opportunity!

"Nope, it starts with O R, which makes the sound 'aw'. What's that next letter?"

Hazel came over to help. "That's a G which makes the sound 'gee'. So this says 'orgy'. What's 'orgy' Mum?"

Maybe I will let the next teaching opportunity slip by.
