Last night Alex, my daughter who has finally embraced the concept of phonics, explained that she is very interested in being a cheerleader. "Oh that sounds great Alex. Let me hear something.", I said. "All right Daddy.", and she began jumping, and spinning and twirling around the living room while shouting this chear:

"Give me an N! Give me an R! That gives... NER!!"

I don't know about you, but I'm fired up!!
