Comments on: Wouble-U? http://mothergoosemouse.com/2007/10/12/wouble-u/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

But my son's Kindergarten teacher wanted us to pronounce it "Coo" (like a dove "coo"s) In words, instead of "queen," it was "coo-een" and so forth. Re: Q

I had learned it as “que” (or “cue,” like a pool cue stick.)

But my son’s Kindergarten teacher wanted us to pronounce it “Coo” (like a dove “coo”s)

In words, instead of “queen,” it was “coo-een” and so forth.

It opens up so many doors for them. And I guess she really does know how to pronounce W. Isn’t it wonderful when they start reading? It opens up so many doors for them.

It seems like that would be more confusing than helpful since most (all?) kids already know how to pronouce the letters when they get to kindergarten.

But, if "wouble-u" came out of the mouth of my kindergartener, I would just gush over the cuteness of it. My 5 year old daughter still says "gei-rrl" for "girl", gets me every time! and I just don’t understand why public education has such a bad reputation!

Ummm...no. But it's funny...my Patience was the same way about reading,and got her kick in the pants from kindergarten. She's thrilled and motivated and it's great. Her main concern, actually, about entering kindergarten was, "But I can't read yet!" I said, "Oh yes you can, you just don't realize it. You'll get to school and see that you can." And sure enough.

Since she started K a couple months after Tacy, she's not quite there yet; but she's FINALLY started to be willing to sound out words. But wouble-u? That's insane. As usual, Jo is exactly the same.
