DD5 seems to have some trouble with phonetics... If she does not see the printed word she has real trouble spelling or recognizing the different sounds of any word. Mrs Teacher thinks that is because her Dutch is not so good but I am on the opinion that this is only 1% of the problem.

I have the feeling that she will learn to read before she can spell...

Any suggestions on how to help develop phonetic skills? They would be immensely useful because Dutch and Spanish are very phonetic languages.

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience there?
