[quote=Anonymous]That's tough. Usually kids are encouraged to spell words phonetically in K and 1st grade, in part because it builds phonics skills and helps teachers see if a kid is getting phonics. If the teachers were correcting the kids' spelling, I can see how that would make a failure-averse kid shut down. If he was reading really well, I think they would assume he is strong with phonics, because in more advanced texts there should be words that a kid hasn't seen before and hasn't had a chance to memorize, and would therefore need to try to sound out. Maybe tests involving reading out loud? [/quote]
