[QUOTE="SRL, post: 12424, member: 701"] Thanks everyone. My difficult child is Hyperlexic which means he had a natural ability to decode words when he was very small. He spelled his first word at 28 months and was obsessed with the whole business for a few years but now it just translates into being a good speller. His teacher from last year told me she knew no one could beat him at this level. His current teacher told me she was surprised he wanted to do it (nerve wise, I think) but I've been talking with him about it on and on since first grade. He was sooooooooo excited -- just stood up there beaming while they were clapping for him (well, and covering his ears, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) doesn't take a vacation at the spelling bee). And when he got home he told me all about how his friends and classmates reacted when he got back to the classroom. We had a family celebration at his favorite pizza place last night to make the memory complete. [/QUOTE]
