To prevent a child from reading pathetically <br />The child should be taught to read phonetically <br />The long and short of vowels A E I O and U <br />With sounds of consonants, so he can construe <br />All those words that he’ll capably sound out <br />Phonetically read what the world’s all about <br />The way some are taught with excess of memorizing <br />Can to most kids be boring, scary and mesmerizing <br />A teacher can know the job was well done <br />When his kids are phonetically reading for fun<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/phonetics/
