[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. Have them read more challenging books and over time it should self correct. [/quote] People always say that and it's absolutely not been my experience. Our FCPS school doesn't teach spelling or basic rules. My DCs read non-stop and can't spell to save their lives. They have different strengths and weaknesses in other academic areas, but the spelling difficulties are shared.[/quote] Same here. My son reads way above grade level, his vocabulary is amazing, yet he can't write. I'm sure reading helps much more than not reading, but the grammar needs to be taught explicitly. [/quote]
