Looking at a package that came today:
Madelyn: Mommy, who's this package for?
Me: Try to find the name on it.
A little while later:
Madelyn: Mommy, what does A-N-T-H-O-N-Y-D-O-W-N-S spell?
Me: Sound it out.
Madelyn: ah, nnn, tuh, huh, ooo, nnn, eeee..... There's an O and an N. That spells "on".
Me: What sound does T and H make together?
Madelyn: tuh, huh.
Me: No, th like "the".
Madelyn: ah, nnn, tuh, huh, ooo, nnn, eeee.....
This continued until I helped her sound it out and she figured out it said "Anthony". A package came yesterday addressed to the same person, so I thought it wouldn't take so long once she found the name. Usually she remembers words pretty well.
