Phonics

We decided today to sign Jeremy up for Chinese class, with his cousins. And Timothy keeps saying he wants to attend phonics class like his "kor-kor". So today I tried teaching him how to pronounce "s" - he always go "th".

Daddy: Close your teeth
Timmy closes teeth
Daddy: Say "sssssss...."
Timmy sticks tongue between teeth and goes "thhhhhh..."
Daddy: No, put your tongue inside
Timmy uses both hands to try to push his tongue in
Daddy: No, don't use your hands, just close your teeth again... yes, that's right... and "ssss..."
Timmy:..............

Daddy gives up. Yeah, he needs phonics class all right.
