Here are two stories that highlight the fabulous job that I’m doing teaching both kids how to spell:
Story #1
My kindergartner and I were talking about her dad’s favorite store, REI.
Sydney: Mom, I know how to spell REI.
Me: Oh?
Sydney: R-E-I
She’s a genius, folks. Genius!
Story #2
I attended my son’s 4th grade parent-teacher conference. His teacher mentioned that he’s in the top of his class for spelling.
This surprised me. Why?
Because on the very same night as the parent-teacher conference, Will wrote the sign below to keep his sister out of his room:
No Girles Aloud.
By the way, when Will was looking over my shoulder just now he said, “You spelled ‘starz’ wrong.”
There’s hope after all!
Maybe he just doesn’t want loud girl-ies in his room? My daughter, Frances got a note home from one of the college-aged volunteers at her after-school program. It said “Your fantastic!” She asked me why “your” was spelled wrong. Isn’t spelling fun!!

Ha ha! Our high school honor society just sent a note around for a canned food drive with wording that everything was “excepted” when they meant “accepted”!
Hahahaha, that’s kool….and spelt wrong.

All 3 of my sons spelled girl “gril” when learning to spell. I often wondered if they had homicidal tendencies toward females . . .
