Learning to write
This is actually from a few months ago. She writes much more clearly now. In fact, she’s such a good speller that we can’t use spelling as a secret code any more while talking. If you look carefully, you can match up most of the words from the original to the translation.

Translation:
Dear Mommy, it was a weird and mysterious day. My heart is still pounding. Totoro came. He gave us a present wrapped in a bamboo leaf. As soon as we got home we opened it. It was full of acorns.

That is cute. How old is your daughter?
With my kids I spent (and still spend) a great deal of time correcting spelling- having them sound it out and use a dictionary.
Of course, we homeschool so I can chalk it up to classwork. *grin*

Ha! Cute. My son is just learning how to grab things and move them around, so we gave him a brush and some paint…its amazing how the most random, innocent first blushes and tries at something end up being what you remember most.

how lovely is your daugther. My nephew almost knew all kind of animal in animal chart and memorize it alone but never learn about the spelling of it’s names.
