grammar - "The one what is blue" - WHAT versus THAT

I have a student who consistently uses "what" for "that" as in "The one what is blue." I need to come up with a rule(s) that would work for a 3rd grader, and am having difficulty finding anything. Lots of pages for "that" vs. "which" and when to use, or not use "that" But no simple way to help remember this particular piece of grammar. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.



FYI, this is not dialectical...no one in the family or around this area says it that way.
