DD had a breakthrough!

[IndigoBell]

DD ( Age 8, in Y3 ) had a breakthrough last night.

She was trying to write 'it'. She wrote 't', crossed it out and then said - "It has to be 'i' first because the word is iiiiiii tttttttt.
If it started with a 't' it would be ttttt iiiiii."

Amazed, I said "Yes, well done. Who taught you that" and she said "No-one, I just figured it out myself because I'm brainy"

She then went on to spell 'was', 'the' and 'of' correctly!

In fact she wrote:
today tit was the lrst day of tirm

Absolutely incredible. I was gobsmacked.

Any chance she'll be able to spell this well tomorrow?

Good for her.

I'm pleased to hear this. Let's hope it continues.

Well done little bell. Indigo you must be thrilled. those hard won gains are even more special. we had a mini breakthrough when dd wrote 2 of the difficult letters in her name. Took your advice re the computer by the way! thanks!

Yay! Well done DD!

Wey hey!!
All that synthetic phonics has paid off then!!

If only your dd could see how many of us who don't know her but have been left feeling very happy for you and your dd.

That's great to read.

I am so glad to hear this, IB. Congratulations to your brilliantly brainy dd.

Fantastic, Indigobell - as I clicked to open the thread I crossed my fingers that it was you and your dd. So pleased for you both! I hope it's the start of many more x
