The Lindenbergs

Anna has become a huge speller. In everyday conversation she incorporates spelling part of what she has to say. Example: "Dad, can we watch a 'm-o-v-i-e'. She actually gets about 90% of the words she spells correct -even if they're not spelled phonetically. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between the words she chooses to spell and the words she's learning to spell in school. She's just figuring it out for herself.
