[quote=Anonymous]My 9 y/o DS is the same way. He's bright and capable in every subject, but he cannot spell. He spells simple, common words differently every time he writes them. Basically, how he thinks they sound. We've had interventions since 2nd grade, and he hasn't really improved much. Now, he's beginning to type his written assignments and learning to use spell check, Grammarly, and other resources. We've discussed testing but the school seems to think it isn't worthwhile since he is dong fine in all other subjects and is reading above grade level. I guess it's just something he will have to learn to compensate for as he grows up. Luckily, kids these days have a lot more resources than we did. Spell check will be his best defense. [/quote]
