She is in first grade and her school encourages the kids to sound words out and write them the way they think they should be spelled. I'm not really sure if their philosophy is that it will eventually help them become better readers, writers & spellers, but it seems to work across the board for kids at all reading levels. She spells the word drank as "jrank". She pronounces the word wrong, so she spells it wrong. Whenever she comes across a word in her reading spelled correctly she has an "ohhhh" moment. I wouldn't worry too much. I think that's how all kids are when they learn how to read & write. And it comes at a different time for everybody. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695189.post-82090930921919877732010-02-28T17:33:17.073-07:002010-02-28T17:33:17.073-07:00English is a tricky, tricky language to master (ok...English is a tricky, tricky language to master (ok, it's even tricky to amatuer in, lol).

I simply didn't want to. I remember my Mum asking my why I didn't want to, and asking me how I would manage once I was grown up. I replied that I wasn't interested and that she would read and write for me when I was grown up! Then all of a sudden I became interested, and it all came together. I have been an avid reader since then and writing has always been a strong subject for me too. So interesting how we all learn at different speeds and in different ways. How great that Rhayn's school supports that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695189.post-73383729731938663172010-02-28T11:13:14.981-07:002010-02-28T11:13:14.981-07:00i took a linguistics class in college and it was a...i took a linguistics class in college and it was an eye opener in to how and why the english language can be so hard to master! and it includes all of the reasons that you wrote about in your post.bodaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07666231708984327806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695189.post-51303329157672339312010-02-27T07:46:29.716-07:002010-02-27T07:46:29.716-07:00The english language really is a tough one to mast...The english language really is a tough one to master. It doesn't make sense in so many aspects! My Cameron (almost 8) is a horrid speller too, but I think his prob is more the fact that he rushes, doesn't take his time, and ends up doing sloppy work. But he was in speech for years for bad articulation, and still does not pronounce many words right, which means in turn he doesn't spell them right either. Reading helps, and he does do a LOT of reading. Keep it up!Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629260463040101616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695189.post-25249615657506980152010-02-26T11:13:13.605-07:002010-02-26T11:13:13.605-07:00words trip me out.

Its usually little things (one 'l' or two), sometimes its because I actually say the word wrong pellow vs pillow. I try to enunciate my speech, if only because it bothers me to say words sloppy. Mountain, not Mount'n. Other words that I wish just didn't exists... Colonel (at least as it is currently spelled) and rural (because I look like a fool trying to say it). Ah, words. They just get in the way of communication, but I keep trying to use so many of them anyway.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998135513799768841noreply@blogger.com
