We are English speaking and as someone raising a kid it's really difficult at their age to teach and explain all the words that are spelled the same but can sound different. She loves to learn so I try my best. I wrote a sentence down that she likes to show people and read to them just to start but always asks why it is the way it is.
"My daughter liked when I read her a book the other day so I make it a habit to read 1 book a day with her"
That's the sentence she's practicing. There is a lot more to get through though.
Along the same lines, through, thorough, throw, tough, thought, though. Just the slightest variation of spelling. English makes no sense.
