Horses

arabian-horse8



I was administering a fluency timing titled Horses today when a student made the classic mistake of reading (excuse my French) whores instead of horses throughout the entire passage.
I took the liberty of retyping the passage as it was read. You're welcome.

Whores are big animals. They have long legs. Whores have short ears. They can hear well. Whores have big eyes. They can see well. Whores have flat teeth. They do not eat meat. They eat hay and grass. They eat sugar cubes and apples too. Whores can do a lot of things. Work whores pull big loads. Race whores run fast. Show whores look pretty. Whores are fun to ride.

As you can see, the two words can really be used interchangeably.
Happy Hump Day!
