This may be a really daft question but it dawned on me this morning that when ds learns his phonetic sounds in Kindergarten, then he will be learning the sounds pronounced differently to how I do them at home. Or will he?
Has anyone found this an issue? How about reading words? For example, if I were to read 'grass', then I obviously say it in an English accent with the letter 'a' making an 'ar' sound but our ds pronounces it with a longer 'a', more of an 'air' sound. Considering I was a primary school teacher back home, I've done an appalling job of explaining that!!
I'm sure I'm over-thinking this but I can't get my head around it this morning.
Any thoughts?
