Keep her away from myspace or else you'll be doing a lot more spelling outloud! I personally have been spelling for my child for 6 years now and things haven't improved much there. I think one factor you haven't mentioned is that every so often, kids can't remember how to spell and come to rely on those around them as spellcheckers. Fortunately, I love to spell. But I believe now, that some people need more help than repetition based on their motivation to learn how to do so. It is about 10% of the population and they need spelling guidelines, sadly, which most of us never needed to think about. Sorry to rant, but I just wanted to bring it up because dyslexics are often underrepresented in the homeschooling world. Wow, chat rooming already.
