The word "green" was of course in green. All kinds of crazy fonts and backgrounds and photos stuck into papers. Her science presentation on water had wallpaper that was water droplets. I'm not sure where she even learned how to do that. The organization of her writing stinks, on the other hand and it doesn't always make a lot of sense, jumping from one thought to another. She also has ADHD.
The psych who assessed her actually wrote in the report "visual spatial learner" based on her WISC scores (PRI was 99.9th percentile and VCI was lower but still 99).

Your child and mine are definitely alike in many ways!!! I so love the "blood" word. I bet that I see that in DD's stories at some point! I too am in awe at how DD has managed to figure out how to do this on the computer. She seems to instinctively find these sites, fonts, what have you, to create her "art".
