[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, her spelling is bad. She was spelling "of" as "uv" and anything with the "tion" she would write as "shun", like "direkshun" instead of "direction", all of this up until about 1 month ago. She can read that words fne but I was seeing it on the school worksheets she brought home, we have since fixed those errors. We are working on a spelling word list too. For instance, just tonight she wrote "halp" for "help", I had to say " hAlp, is that the vowel sound you hear? What makes an eh sound?" Then she immediately erased it and fixed it to an "e". [/quote] She doesn't have them orthographically mapped well enough if she can't spell them. She's relying on shape, which explains the practically/politically thing and is what unskilled readers do.[/quote]
