Is this normal for y1?

[TheAvocadoOfWisdom]

The quike brown Fox jummt ovu The lasy dog.

Or should we be working on his spelling a bit more?

My two year old has just written: "I think it's unhelpful to label the dog as lazy, he might just have learning difficulties. Perhaps a preferable adjective could be inert or stationary."

mine has just translated it from the original hebrew where, it turns out 'lazy' is very closely related to the word 'inert'...so your little two year old may well have a point there panzee.

should point out my DD is 6 and not 2 so not nearly as gifted.

I read it then thought what ru asking? then it clicked!

WOW, more than two words...
DS is in yr 1, he's a typical reluctant writer. he likes to be told how to spell words but if pushed to do it alone, thats about how he would write.

My yr 1 dd is miles away from managing to produce so long or complicated a sentence. She is put off writing by her spelling, I'd be absolutely delighted if she wrote anything similar. She will only write if I spell everything out for her. I think this is largely because of her big brother who laughs at her and yes, it is an ongoing battle to get him to stop.

Ds2 is 5.8 and just wrote "the quik drown fox jumpt ofa the lazy bog"

:o colditz DS1 just read J as L today: we have letter reversal too.

I am impressed. My DS is reception and I was very impressed when he wrote FIUMAN. Cute. Spelling is overrated .
