[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 248125, member: 4040"] Miss KT still can't spell. The wonderful whole language program the district was using at that time didn't help her learn that words have vowels in them, and that you need to write down all the letters, even the ones you can't hear. Sixth grade was the worst for spelling tests. She could spell the words out loud, but couldn't write them down. They got lost between brain and paper. I asked her teacher to give her the spelling tests orally, and she did much better. Don't know if that's an option for your son, or if he has trouble with spelling in general, but thought I'd throw it out there. [/QUOTE]
