[quote=Anonymous]My DD, 11, is like this although her spelling has gotten a LOT better in the last couple years. While this is a challenge it also has its benefits -- She's a very prolific and imaginative writer, in part because she just doesn't care about spelling. DS, OTOH, struggled with writing in the early grades (and still doesn't like it). His 1st grade teacher pointed out that his problem was that he had a very big vocabulary and wanted to use the words he knew but didn't know how to spell them. Rather than just getting kind-of close, he paralyzed himself because he wanted to spell everything correctly.[/quote]
