You'd think they would find a better name than SLUB.   I prefer if it was the bear going through a marsh.

I'm using Toe by Toe and I've come to page 35. The words in this page are real words. (web master says for people's information "This resource uses nonsense words early on to ensure the reader reads the word and does not guess by association").  One of the words is SLUB. Lindsay and I looked it up in the dictionary, then we asked people in our class what they thought the word SLUB meant.

Our class came up with the following suggestions. Which one is the correct answer?

A Slub is . . . .

1)A Slug's bed
2)The sound of a bear going through a marsh
3)A drunken babble
4)A lump in yarn or fabric
5)A layer of rock that overlies a salt dome

Scroll further down to see the correct answer, but have a go at it first.

The answer is - A lump in yarn or fabric
