Thanks for this helpful video! My 3rd grade daughter and I stumbled upon it during a homeschool lesson. We do want to point out that we just learned that the correct way to say “slough” is like “through” - it came up in our read aloud book, and I had been pronouncing it “slawf” the whole time too 😭 i know it’s super uncommon, but thought I would share this new bit of information that we just learned too!
