He gives her an encouraging smile!

She smiles back, feeling the determination!
"Heheh, it's easier than I thought!"
Well for the most part. She's technically been guessing the full answers.

"You're learning very quickly. That's a good sign."
He chuckles.
"Alright, now try this first page."
The pictures help with recognizing words, he assumes.

"I...eye...ain...In!"
The I in caterpillar sounded more like ih, too. So That must be it!
"In the...L..."
Uh oh.
She points to the word "Light".
"What's this?"

"This is one of those rules that don't often make sense with our language."
Admittedly. Which is why English was so hard to learn for those who weren't native speakers.
"The word is light. But you don't pronounce the G-H."

"Oh." she nods.
"Is it always like that? If there's other GH?"

"Other words that look like that, yes."
He nods.
"Tight, right, night, things like that. They'll all have that same silent GH."

"Okay." she nods with a furrowed brow, trying to look like she's concentrating hard and learning.
"I'll remember that!"
Or try.
"Okay so. In the light...off...the...moan..?"

"Of."
He corrects gently.
"And two o's make an 'oo' sound."

"Oh."
What?? She'll accept the oo thing but why is O and F making a V sound?
"Isn't there a letter that already makes that sound? Why is it the o and f?"

"Tt's because technically, it's still making the 'f' sound. It's just shortened."
Elias shrugs.
He doesn't actually know, but he doesn't want to seem like he doesn't.

"Ah. Heheh...you're so smart!"
She looks down at the page again.
"Okay. One more time! In...the...l..light OF...the moon..."
Oh that made more sense.
"A...lie...lie-tle...oh! Little? A little....um.."
She points at Egg.

"Mmm hmmmm?"
Elias looks at her even as she points.
He's not going to tell her unless she tries.

Elias points at the G.
