Hi, I have name changed for this. I am really worried about my dd spelling and so is her teacher! She is almost 7, in year 2. Her reading is really good (if it means anything KS2 brown books), good expression, fluency and fab understanding. She read early and ALWAYS has her nose in a book!
She has great ideas for writing and a wide vocabulary. She uses capital letters, full stops, commas, exclamation marks, question marks, speech marks etc. But her spelling is a real concern. She also reverses b's and d's. This is not something she has always done but started somewhere in y1 and I think she has made it into a real issue.
She doesn't enjoy writing (long story but in previous school had to do big write every week and grew to hate it). I don't know what to do, we practice spellings and she gets 10/10 in spelling tests but her general writing is full of errors which if I asked her to spell in isolation she could or at least have a much more accurate attempt.
I have some examples that I will try to attach.
Anyone have any words of wisdom?
Thanks
