‎I TRIED OPENING THE DOOR TO AUNTY ROOM BUT STOPPED TRYING THE MOMENT I HEARD HER MOANING OUT LOUD. I was shocked when I realized she was in the room with my father. 🤯
‎
‎Aunty Runky dialed Jide's number again, this time asking him to come over because she could no longer handle the threat of having her n_udes uploaded online.
‎
‎Jide eventually went to see Aunty Runky - He waited after pressing the doorbell.
‎
‎Aunty Runky stepped out in skimpy clothes to meet him at the door. His eyes didn't stop staring at her chest.
‎
‎"This your body got me aroused whenever I see it..." He said, softly reaching out to touch her chest.
‎
‎"Did you miss me?" Aunty Runky asked while trying to move her b_ oobs closer.
‎
‎"Yeah, I do miss you..." Jide responded in a muffled whisper as he placed his face on her breast.
‎
‎"So why did you threaten to upload my nudes online because I've asked you to wait for some days.
‎
‎He raised his head and then said, "I'm just impatient... But you know I was only joking..."
‎
‎"Let's go and have the best time together..." Aunty Runky said, rubbing his head.
‎
‎"Wait a minute. How about that your mugu? Would he not catch us?" Jide asked.
‎
‎She said, mockingly, "My mugu husband has gone to the office and will be back at night...."
‎
‎"In that case, we're going on a rollercoaster" he muttered as he grabbed her waist.
‎
‎They both moved into the house and the process of s_mooching, Aunty Runky heard the sound of her husband's car horn echoing down the street.
‎
‎She gently moved back, stopping her lover who seemed to be in absolute ecstasy.
‎
‎"Jide, wait, it seems Kelvin is back..."
‎
‎"But you said, he'll be back at night..." Jide said, panicking.
‎
‎They both were tense when the security guard rushed to open the gate.
‎
‎"Welcome oga...." Musa, smiling broadly, greeted Kelvin as he flung the gate open for him.
‎
‎Musa stood beside Kelvin's car and helped him carry his laptop bag.
‎
‎"Is Runky at home?" He asked while he locked his car.
‎
‎Musa laughed cynically, "Ha, oga, Aunty Runky has a guest..."
‎
‎Kelvin who was already moving into the house, paused to ask Musa.
‎
‎"Guest?"
‎
‎"Yes oga, a male guest..." Musa reported.
‎
‎"I'll have to see the guest..." Kelvin said, moving into the house swiftly.
‎
‎Story continues....

Do you think Kelvin will catch them?

Teaching CVC words

(Consonant–Vowel–Consonant) For a five-year-old, work best when it is short, playful, and hands-on.

The goal is to help the child hear each sound, blend them, and eventually read the whole word automatically.

1. Start with the sounds

Before asking the child to read words, make sure they know the sounds of common letters.

For example:
m → /m/
a → /a/
t → /t/

Avoid saying the letter names first. Focus on the sounds.

2. Teach oral blending first
Say the sounds slowly and let the child combine them:

/m/ – /a/ – /t/ → mat

Try:
/s/ – /a/ – /t/ → sat
/p/ – /i/ – /g/ → pig
/c/ – /a/ – /t/ → cat
/d/ – /o/ – /g/ → dog

You can make it fun by pretending to be a robot:

“/m/… /a/… /t/ — what word?”

3. Introduce the word family
Teach several words with the same ending.
-at family

cat → bat → hat → mat → rat → sat
Then ask:

“What stays the same?”
“What changes?”

The child begins to notice that changing one sound creates a new word.

4. Use sound boxes
Draw three boxes:

🟦🟦 🟦
/c/ /a/ /t/

Have the child move a counter into each box while saying each sound.

Then sweep a finger underneath:
c → a → t → CAT

This helps connect segmenting (breaking words apart) with blending (putting them together).

5. Use magnetic letters or letter cards
Give the child:

c – a – t

Ask:

“Touch each letter and say its sound.”

Then:

“Now slide your finger across and blend.”

Change just one letter:
cat → cap → can → cab

This is excellent practice because the child sees that only one sound has changed.

6. Add pictures
Show a picture of a dog.

Write:
d – o – g

Ask the child to:
Say each sound.
Blend the sounds.

Read dog.

Match the word to the picture.

7. Move from words to simple sentences
Once the child can read several CVC words, introduce very short sentences:

The cat sat.
A dog can run.

The pig is big.

Sam has a hat.

For a complete guide on how to help your child read, I've written a phonics book titled 'An easy way to read in two weeks'.

🧠 Did you know the reading part of your child’s brain starts developing in the womb?

Harvard-backed MRI scans now prove it and by 18 months, there are huge differences between children’s brains depending on what they have been exposed to.

The result? A massive gap forms between kids who get the right early input… and those who don’t.

But here’s the good news:
Teaching your child to read isn’t hard.
You just need a method that works, one that makes sense to you and them.

🎉 In my FREE 20-min training, I’ll show you exactly how to:

✅ Teach oral blending (the magic first step)
✅ Start with the first 6 letter sounds (SATPIN)
✅ Blend them into real words
✅ Introduce tricky “heart” words
✅ Build up to full sentences — before school even starts

Just 5 steps. 5–10 mins a day.
No teaching degree needed. Just a proven system.

👇 Drop “20” in the comments and I’ll send you the training.

It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it can change your child’s life. 💛
