Dd has been doing writing homework since the start of this year. She's 6 years old now and in year 1. Last year in foundation they were taught to spell things phonetically.
Now she's in year 1, I asked her teacher if I should correct her spellings when she finishes her homework and was told to leave them and she will mark them.
Her incorrect spellings still aren't marked though, and even if they were, she won't have a chance to look at the words and learn them.
I don't think dd is learning that she is spelling things wrong and when I've tried to correct them, she tells me "I spell it like this though"...it seems she's been given too much independence by being taught to spell phonetically.
Should I start underlining her misspelt words regardless of what teacher says?
