We now use phonics to make words make stories. Five more of my secrets of child literacy.

If you have worked with me using my five secrets of child literacy, your child can now recognize every sound of the alphabet. You have played the games:

“Let’s see who can find ?a’.?

“I wonder where ?z’ is hiding.?

You have walked along alphabet roads, zoomed your sports car around Formula One alphabet circuits and taken ?y’ and ?p’ for a ride in the pram with teddy and a doll. Alphabet letters are fun, they are friends.

Occasionally I am asked what are the differences between a Formula 1 and Champ Car chassis. Yet how many people really know what a Champ Car is? (As I’m frequently asked to explain what they are)

Unfortunately the majority of today’s non-racing savvy public only knows what “RASSCAR” (Nextel Cup) is… So my simple answer is: Do you know the cars that run at the Indianapolis 500? Those are “Indycars,” which a Champ Car loosely resembles.
