Belle’s First Spelling Test
Belle, Education July 31st, 2008This forgetful Mommy forgot that today is 31st July! Belle brought her book home on Monday telling me that she has to remember some words. I thought she will never have spelling test. From today onwards, there will be spelling test every week; 3 words a week.
I tried helping her but she refused to let me teach her how to memorize. Instead she go around with her exercise book everyday asking us to spell out the words! Maybe that is how she learn; by teaching others.
I wanted to test her by asking her to write it down coz she always mix up “b” and “d” and will write certain alphabet terbalik. But I delayed because I thought the spelling test is in a few more days. So I happily type out all the alphabet in the spelling list to get hubby to print it out and laminate it today so that we can practice spelling tonight.
I only realized that today is 31st when I went to fetch her from kindy today. When asked, she told me that she knew how to spell all the words. I even tested her in the car. She spelt all correctly.
When I check her exercise book, she got one wrong!

She mixed up “b” with “d”!

Practicing for next week spelling test.

its common kids this age mix up the “b” and “d”. They will remember as they grow..
