We're now teaching spelling to my kindergartener, as much as I dislike the idea.
I hope this isn't taken in the wrong way, I am asking because I'm just curious - if you dislike the idea of teaching spelling to your kindergartner, why are you doing it? Does he/she have spelling tests or expectations at school? Is your child asking to learn spelling?
Our schools have always emphasized reading first, spelling later on. It's not something I'd push on my little one unless he/she absolutely had to do it as part of their schoolwork. But otoh, I'm not an English teacher! SO my knowledge of the correct order of things could be very skewed
Best wishes,
