[quote=Anonymous]OK, clearly 10:48 is a troll, so let's forget about that one.

I'm the poster who replied yesterday about the prefixes studies (like substitute and subterranean), and while I understand OP's concerns about the spelling of more basic words, I also think those things are more likely to come organically through reading profusely.

My kids sometimes misspell words, but they have also learned (in 2nd grade, I think) what "their," "there" and "they're" mean. Part of it is that I can no longer remember what they had as spelling words in their earlier grades, versus what I taught them, versus what they just figured out from reading books/magazines.

OP, basically I agree that the words in 3rd grade AAP CAN be challenging, but I also think a lot of them are appropriate for a quicker learner.  And even without knowing you or your kid, I still think that throughout elementary school, your child will pick up on the correct spelling of the basic building blocks of our language. [/quote]
