ooc;; maybe a childrens book?
Cinnamon backed ears perked forward as she began to explain what the t and h made together. Once she said the word it was easier to see where his mistake hade come from- he had read each letter consecutively and had not taken into account the whole word when trying to pronounce it. He glanced back at the 'ch' that he had seen earlier, trying to apply what she had told him about the 'th' sound. In a round about manner Saul managed to make out what the word was- 'church'. A smile escaped him as he triumphed over the sound. Though he felt very much like a little child right now he was glad he was learning. Glancing back up to the pale woman he nodded.
"Thank you Skye"
He murmered before carrying on with the rest of the book. It took him a while and every now and then he would look up from reading aloud and ask Skye how a certain word was pronounced. She was a good teacher and made sure she explained everything fully so that he would understand before allowing him to continue. Before long he had masted the 'st' sound the 'sch' sound and many more. Though he was not a pro at reading by the time he closed the book he was certainly better adept at making his way around one. Green eyes sparkled softly as he looked up at the pale female.
"Where did you learn to read Skye?"
He asked, curiosity piqued now. He was sure that when he had children of his own he would start early with teaching them how to read. It was obviously a good life skill and he imagined it would be easier to teach smaller ones with more pliable minds than it was to teach an older person, as Skye was doing.
