They teach kids to say "zee" when doing the alphabet too now <grr>

At first I started teaching my kids with Zed until I realised that would be a disservice to them when they started school, so quickly changed to Zee for them until they were old enough to understand dialects and different versions.

It was amusing listening to kids early on. They might not have understood difference between British and American English, but from an early age they would say a sentence to me using "settee" and then in the next sentence talk about the "sofa" to my wife.

Trying to take an impartial view. "Zed" makes more sense than "zee" if for no other reason than differentiation.

"Zee" can easily be mistook for "Cee". There are also quite a number of other letters ending in "ee" sound too. When speaking the letter it is easier to confuse.

It goes the ****ing alphabet song better. I think it really is that bloody simple the lazy ****s
 
challenge for the old farts:

phonically sound Z.

put it in a word

at no time does Zed work. ergo patently you were badly taught back in the 1870s.


phonically teaching sounds is a far better means to teach reading skills.

CEE is not even phoncially correct. C is more like Ke as in the KE-AT sat on the Mat

in fact the only place CEE works is with celtic which we all know is a silly way to say a KEeltic nation.

Phonetics alone is bad way of teaching English. Sure teaching Spanish phonetically works but English doesn't follow phonetics very well at all and almost every letter has multiple ways of pronouncing.

Could be worse... Could be French where half the letters arnt pronounced at all.

this is true but actually it work. Ask whats this letter. kid says KAH ... C... not its a CEEE its a Kah sound.

then you say read this and show a kid "cheslea are ****s" and they would say Kelsea and kunhts

which is obviously fine expect for the two Victorians around here.


the point is you teach a child gradually and don't say FFS <doh> the first time the muck it up. you are only starting with sound and simply words like

Cat - KH-AT
Mat. MUH AT
SHAT... and so forth

this of course is why at 6 my child is still learning to read. he can't read but she can memorise the entire book by rote and rabbit it back to you such is her genius.

The education system of today is ****. they give her this book and they project it up on a screen in school and all phonically read it with teacher then they send it home and she just says it off word for word but then you cover the pics and she can't read the words... great.
