6 Phonics lessons

Marguerite is meeting our rising first-grader to help her with phonics and writing, and while only a couple of session have happened, our daughter is initiating talking to us about phonics, and has been trying to "teach" us what words start and end with. She used to hate anything to do with them because she felt like she didn't get it and didn't want to talk about it. Now she is pointing out things and telling us what they start with.
