Spelling

Tonight at bedtime, Thomas and I were reading Dr. Seuss' One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Thomas was spelling the words for me. He went: "O-N-E-F-I-S-H." Sensing a teachable moment, I decided to take this opportunity to explain the pause we use between words and that he needed to take a small pause after spelling one word before going onto the next so the listener will know it's two different words. So he tried again, "O-N-E" (a long pause) "I paused Mommy. F-I-S-H."
