We have chosen to concenttrate on language skills.Īs for the teacher-my vote is skip it. The problems with spelling can easily overwhelm the love of writing and storytelling.


She spells semi-phonetically and will use several spellings for a word within a paragraph. Any improvement in her spelling I would attribute to her increased reading experiences-not the hours of rewriting spelling words. I focus on content and she is not graded for spelling except for spelling tests and projects that undergo several revision with editing help. Not what you want to hear but if my daughter could miss her spelling tests I’d jump for joy. Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, - 3:18 PM Please someone give me some advice on what to do next. I feel at my wits end trying to make sure this doesn’t happen again and trying not to flat out call the teacher a liar. My daughter is now asking us not to say anything else to the teacher because she doesn’t want to make the teacher mad. This has caused my daughter to not want to study for her test. Also she hasn’t offered to produce the test. The teacher flatly refuses to admit that she made a big mistake. Now my daughter isn’t perfect but has no reason to tell us she didn’t take these test if she did. The teacher says she took all test and that she made 100s on all.

The problem is that the teacher gave her class 3 spelling test without her being in class (she was out for her remedial reading class) and didn’t give her the test once she returned to class. My daughter is in 5th grade and was dx with dyslexia in 3rd grade, she is in public school with an IEP and has been making progress although still isn’t on level. We are having a problem with my daughters teacher. Hi, I haven’t posted on here but I have read many times.
