Sammy's New Word

Samantha has been reading for a few months now (since before Josh was born). Her preschool teacher sends books home with her each night she has preschool. Each book has 4-5 new words that she has to learn to read in the book. They are actually kindergarten readers and they obviously get progressively harder. Back to the story at hand...On Tuesday morning I was reading Sammy's book with her before school and we ran into a problem with one new word. One of her words was 'but.' Samantha thought that was the funniest thing in the world!! She couldn't believe that her new word was 'but.' I tried to explain to her that it wasn't 'butt' but she didn't get it!! I would give her examples as to what this new word meant but it didn't work...she was too set on the fact that she was reading the word 'but.' Every time she would read the word in her story she would smile and get this little giggle. It was really funny but you can definitely tell she has been influenced by her father!!
