My DS5 learned to read without any phonics at age 4. He started with sight words and now whenever he comes across a new word he asks me what it is and then never stumbles again. IMO, he is not a good speller. I really don't have a lot to compare him to though. He did get a SS of 123 on the WJ-III (94%) at age 5 years 1 month. I am very curious to see how he does in spelling when he actually gets to attend school.
I have never been a good speller but I am a super fast reader and read a lot as a child. I LOVE me some spell check.
I have enjoyed reading all the mixed up words/sentences in this thread. I guess I now know that I misspell on this board, I better make sure at least the first and last letter are correct and no one will mind.
