But I can't seem to help Emma. She just gets amd at me and insists that she is spelling things the same way they do in all the books she reads. I don't think spelling has changed. But I have noticed she doesn't seem to understand how to sound things out.<BR/><BR/>Mandi - Maybe I should hire you to come tutor her. I can't see her getting mad at you like she does me.<BR/><BR/>Ajoy - Becoming Jane is on my list.Stephanie Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553998075443712084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418870747476000878.post-63194586839381857482007-10-24T09:11:00.000-06:002007-10-24T09:11:00.000-06:00Spelling is just one of those disciplines like add...Spelling is just one of those disciplines like addition, multiplication, etc. You just have to do it. Practice, practice, practice. And some people have more of a natural aptitude towards it. But like addition and multiplication, the more you use the tools (calculators, spell checkers) the more you have to depend on them and the harder it becomes to do on your own. However, the best spellers are the best readers. The more you read, the more apt you become at spelling, provided you practice, that is.Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131231510506524156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418870747476000878.post-6202104987844116762007-10-23T23:25:00.000-06:002007-10-23T23:25:00.000-06:00For heavens sake I agree!

I watched the movie "Becoming Jane" and these same thoughts came to mind about my writing capabilities verses hers. <BR/><BR/>I honestly don't think I'd be writing if I had to work THAT hard. haha <BR/><BR/>If you haven't seen the movie...do. I really enjoyed it.Autumn Ableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550322222515752199noreply@blogger.com
