Hi can'tbearit,
You know my DD's case...dyslexic and dyspraxic ..no choice lah must be KS and ask the school for all the help that i can get.Its also good to be upfront about my gal's needs to the teachers.they tend to be more symphathetic and gentler when they know that my gal have learning difficulties....anyway as parents we are our child's advocate!

its so true when they say that all kids are different..DS is super KS and always want to be NO.1..asked me for chinese tuition. recently....
DD1 is very kuniang and have loads of learning challenges and DD2 is 4yrs old...says she's a \"boyish gal\"wants to go to a boys school loves dinosaurs and hates pink!!!! can spell \"velociraptor\" \"gallimimus\"dinosaur words etc but will not know how to read \"said\"or spell \"they\" :? :? :?

Hi all,
Just want to share my happiness!!!
My gal did well for her spelling!
First one she got 8/10 and the 2nd and 3rd spelling she scored 10/10!!!
I'm really so happy for her coz she worked super hard...after the first spelling she practised till she had blisters on her thumb :!: :!:
i told her to stop but she said she maybe can get 9/10..
i told her if she can get 5/10 i'll be super happy coz i know she tries VERY hard...
No reversed letters at all! Amazing!!!
We never had spelling when we were in kindergarten......and her ex school mates got words like \"cow\" and \"moo\"!!!!
I'm going to e-mail her therapists next!!!!SOOOOO HAPPY

Hi funkymonkey,

:congrats: :congrats: Your DD did an excellent job with her spelling. Definitely not an easy feat for someone with dyslexia & dyspraxia. Keep up the good work. The most important thing is, it'll do wonders for your DD's self esteem and the satisfaction of knowing all her efforts paid off. :celebrate:
