Isaiah had his sixth birthday a few days ago. One of his gifts was a popgun, and another one was a book called The Rattletrap Car, which has frequent repetitions of the word “pop”. You can see where this is going, right? That’s right, he’s been reading the book, popgun in hand, and adding the appropriate sound effect every time he gets to the word “pop”. This has been motivating him into some pretty good reading practice, as this book has some complicated words like “chocolate”, “fudge”, “razzleberry”, and so on. Not an anticipated result of the popgun, but welcome none the less!
