Today's Lesson


Today Terri told me that she would like me to learn 24 consonant sounds and blending the sounds. I will also learn to place stress in word pronunciation. I will then read words and short sentences.

Learning to read is like learning to swim. I must practise a lot before I can do it well.

Cubs - An Extended Version


Three tiger cubs were looking for their mom for milk. But their mom was sick. She could not feed them. They were very hungry. They walked around the cage. They want someone to help them. They roared, “Raar, raar ……”

The zoo keeper saw them. He felt pity on them. He said, “Poor cubs, let me help you.” So he took them to a pig dam where a pig mother was feeding the piglets. He said to the pig mother, “Can you feed them with your milk because the cubs’ mother is very sick. She can’t feed them. The pig mother said, “Ok! Leave them here with me.” So, he left them with the pig mother.

The piglets stopped roaring. They got near to the pig mother. The pig mother was so kind to feed the cubs with her milk. The cubs were happy because they now had some milk from the pig mother.
