Good point
I don't trust my spelling .. it stinks
It wasn't till my youngest went to school did I realize what my problem was.
She, as I did .. learned to spell by sounding out words
Just one problem .. it doesn't help when one has an accent and do not pronounce words properly
With my next daughter .. I told her to just memorize the letters of the words .. it was safer and she is a better speller for it too .. *L*
I honestly don't remember how I learned to spell, but there are photographs of me dragging out various food products and placing them next to the picture-less ad in the paper at the tender age of 1.
