These responses are all interesting to me - sounds like everyone's different. I'm not going to worry about it at all. Since DS taught himself how to read, i'll let him figure out how to spell too, if he wants to, before he hits school. (of course if he asks, I will help by at least telling him to get the first and last letters right.)
I tried to think back to my own spelling beginnings, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. The only thing I remember about spelling when I was little was that i wanted to know the right way to spell things, not how they sounded.
