[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 434299, member: 3493"] One of my teachers kind of sarcastically suggested to me in second or third grade that I should just read the dictionary since the class words were obviously boring me. I took her advice and actually wound up taking second place in NYC's spelling bee when I was 12 (didn't get to go to Difficult Child, darn!) as a direct result of my new hobby. I carried my dictionary with me for years. Perhaps you can give him words above level 4 on your own - or give him a dictionary. At first, I started with A but after awhile, I would just turn through the pages and pick one and work on it. Actually, after watching the Spelling Bee on TV last night, I think I'm going to go back to reading the dictionary. [/QUOTE]
