what have we here? – solc # 23

what have we here?

“b” says /b(uh)/ and “s”  says /s-s-s-s/

and “a” can say all kinds of sounds

you can blend all these letter sounds to make words you know…

and sometimes words you’ve never heard of

you can pull off the beginning sound of a word and see what’s left

(but why would you want to do that?)

 

you can find words that are brothers and sisters in the same family,

you can outline the shape of a word

and

you can use words to fill in blanks…

and you can put words together to make a sentence

but

do those words ring with your thoughts from inside your head?

if you know all the sounds and all the words

and even answer all the questions

                                just right

 

but if the words don’t make you

                think

and remember

and laugh

or even cry…

are these words speaking to you?

what have we here?
