Learning to Read 101

This morning Emma and I were working on some devotions for her Sunday night Bible class. Her task was to decode an encrypted message pertaining to theology. She had figured out the first word--Satan--when I left the room. I could hear her working on the next word from the bathroom.

"Satan canoes." she called out.

Huh?! I thought. Since when was Satan an outdoor enthusiast?

"Spell it!" I called back.

"K-N-O-W-S" Emma replied.

☺ Ah yes. Learning to read can be mighty tricky.
