"Jory, spell basket," I instruct.
He writes "baskit."
I look at the white board. "Jory, that isn't spelled correctly. Sound it out. Bas-ket."
He erases and writes again, this time spelling "bascat."
"Uh, Jory what's that? It's sk not sc," I remind him.
"Well sc and sk sound the same and they are the same," he replies.
"Sk and sc are not the same."
"Yes, they are just like C and K. Caleb and Kaleb, they are the same. See?"
What could I say to that, except.... "I see but basket is spelled, b-a-s-k-e-t. Okay. Sk not sc."
