Decoding

Funny thing happened the other day in one of my lessons. This young boy about 10 yr -not too sophisticated - was reading a book aloud to me and had got stuck on a word and was trying to decode it using phonemes, chunks segmenting and blending... he was doing really well and came up with  "org - org -  orgasm!" - he obviously didn't know the meaning of what he had said and fortunately I didn't crack up laughing I just jumped in and said" organise" and he moved on with his reading.
Priceless experience
