DD loves school and is enjoying and doing well with learning to read. She has gone from not wanting to write to wanting to make her own books and write little stories, which is great. However, her spelling is really bad. She doesn't yet have to learn any spellings at home and I don't want to dampen this new found enthusiasm. But her spelling is really poor eg wot (what), hav (have), nem (name), culee (curly), cyoot (cute), groo (grew), hra (hooray), etc. I always make a big fuss of her writing as I want to encourage her, but should I be correcting some of the more straightforward errors, or will this naturally right itself as she gets older?
