Even her handwriting is that way...she wrote the word "blood" with a red marker with red drops literally dripping out of the word. I'm sure the teacher appreciated that. The word "green" was of course in green.
This exactly! DS6.9's spelling test has every word in action. Yesterday, the word adventure had the "a" and "d" wearing a hat, while all the other letters had feet, following the "a" and "d" on an adventure. Pull has "l"s that are ropes pulling the whole word over on its side, figure had a pie chart inside the "g" while the "e" had a thought bubble, figuring something out. The word twist, is obviously all twisted up....I could go on for hours. His hole spelling notebook is in action. Oddly he has one this since he was 3 and learning to write.
I don't know how VS DS is. He is really good at sequential and auditory learning, but he is also very in tune with patterns...he learned how to transpose any song on the piano into every major and minor key in a matter of two weeks. That just screams VS to me. But he also loves to learn through audio, so I don't know if he leans one way or the other.
Anyway, just had to reply to the putting visual life into words.
