OK DS, your dad was partly correct by saying its easy. But had he learned phonics----it would have been a breeze for him--- "arm--a--ged--don. )The trick to spelling and pronoucing with phonics is to break the big word down to many little words and every syllable has to have a vowel--but like learning to walk when you are a baby----learning to read, spell and pronounce words with phonics is much easier from the very beginning--from learning "ON" we can then go to "bon, con, don and then to bond, pond, fond etc. (But if I am wrong on this, please don't hesitate to correct me---I am NOT a teacher!!
