Tough WordsBy Nicole Foster on Friday, January 14, 2011 My kids are 4 and 2, so spelling is not even on our radar yet. However, my 2 year old son loves to say, "Humongous!" and even uses it in the right context! |

SpellingBy Angie K on Friday, January 14, 2011 The first tough word that my daughter was able to spell was her name, Madeleine. It is not the easiest to spell and some of her family members still can't spell it correctly! |
SpellingBy Laurie on Friday, January 14, 2011 It might not be a 'tough' word but my daughter's first grade teacher taught them a mnemonic for "because" - Bears eat candy and understand science experiments. Weird but it works! |
