Hi Blessed Mommy,
Just replying to give you some support. I'm pretty sure our kids are similar. DS7 reads like a champ. But last night he spelled "try" as c-h-r-i-e-y. I guess if you say it over and over, and your Mom is a little twangy with her diction, you could hear c-h-r rather than t-r. But I can't really rationalize the i-e-y!
And - when DS has an idea, the words pour out of him so fast and furious that I would even have trouble taking notes to keep up. When he is explaining something in public in his rapid fire style, there are always raised eyebrows and smiles. And he cannot be slowed down or interrupted until he finishes his thought. So I'm sure your instinct about not wanting to break from a gallop to a trot, just for the annoying mechanics of writing, is spot on.
It's a wild ride we are on!
Sue
