Spelling bee

Claire is now at the stage where she can recognize letters individually, but has yet to master the art of putting them together to read a word. So now she has a habit of reading out the letters in words, and assuming that they say what she thinks they should say, like this:



The other day, we were in the car, at a red light, when a huge bus pulled up beside us.

Claire began to read the printing on the side of the bus, "B-A-S P-E-R-S-I-A-R-A-N."
"School Bus!" she announced.



Another time was when we had just landed at the KL airport, on our way to Genting Highlands Resort.

Claire looked out the window at a hangar and read, "M-A-S K-A-R-G-O."
"Genting Airport!"



Clever girl...
