She's in year 12. She's very bright but her spelling is poor. She's just proudly sent me the end of an essay that she got 87% for and i the last para she spelt 'permanence' as 'permance', perhaps as 'prehaps', influence as 'influnce'. School mention it occasionally but nothing more. Her lowest gcse was a 6 in English Language.
I'm a really good speller so I really notice it, but am I overreacting? I don't mention it to her anymore.

Dd2 is a poor speller. Dyslexia or just a poor speller?
