I always enjoy the humor and history in your reading lessons, Alexis! When I was a kid I collected patches and Hard Rock Cafe pins. I still collect patches and pins but usually, they're Disney pins now! I also collect records and books (of course). Should we start collecting a list of all the words that are too hard to explain how to spell? Absolutely! I'll start -- diarrhea. LOL

Oooo Hard Rock Cafe pins! So niche. Very cool. Oh the books…when does it become a problem? Diarrhea is SUCH A GOOD ONE! Who would ever guess that? Let’s hope there’s not too many reasons to have to spell it that often. lol

Love this post - the silent Es!, the Teddy R. detour, the book reccs, and the reveal of your childhood hobby! (Mine was collecting keychains. Now it's stationery, and books of course (mostly childrens!). We recently got All the Dogs in the Neighborhood at the library and loved it! Also, I wanna win the giveaway!

Fun with phonics :)

Like no English word ends with V - they always have a silent E
