TA DAA! Boy Spells Words!

[divalea]

Boy made this!




14 is blurred because it's personal. The words to the side are ones we suggested and he didn't know how to spell. He would not move on until we told him how.
8 is supposed to be "BIG." Boy got it wrong at first, but wouldn't correct the placement of the I.
When this list was done, King went to pieces. King is not a crier. I was afraid he was crying because of all the years we've fought for our son's education, and wasted time.
But no. He was just so relieved to see Boy was truly capable of learning and demonstrating it.

I must give King the props for motivating DVD-hungry Boy by promising him a new one for every twenty new words he can spell.

Congratulations to the boy!

And, as an aside, in a demonstration that my world is more interesting before caffeine, I misread "...blurred because it's personal" as "...blurred because it's paranormal."

It's all the more impressive given the fact that English (along with French) is at the top position in any list of the worst of the European languages when it comes to spelling logic.

Boy, you rock. Lea and King, so do you as parents. Looks like the motivation factor is a good thing here. Congratulations, all.
