Certainly a good thing to try.  Though some of those more mature things
require the ability to read and write in order to communicate those ideas.

Thankfully, with his teachers aide getting him more one on one time, he
is moving forward in that reading/writing department.  He's actually
been staying up late in bed trying to write new words down based on how
they sound.  Dead = Ded.  Rain = Ran.  Good stuff.
