mixing up letters when writing

[mintyneb]

Last night I was watching DD writing something and she wrote quite confidently the word 'your' but spelt it 'yoru'. I've noticed before she's mixed her letters up when writing at home. Unfortunately I haven't seen enough of her school work to know if its the same case there.

She's just turned 7 and in yr2.

Is it still quite normal at this age to be mixing up letters?

Sorry i don't have an answer to your question, but can offer also that my two girls mixed up their 'b' and 'd' and 6 and 9 into Year3.

I did the panicky google search, is my kid dyslexic? Teacher told me it was quite normal.
