1. warning !!!!!!

do not show this to young children. I got this in an email a while ago and showed it to my son 'cause I thought it was kinda cool.

He gave up studying for spelling tests shortly thereafter.

Spelling Bee by being a top speller! All expenses paid. A blast!

6. good for her and congrats to you. . .

but trust me. . .spelling is not his thing.

He can ace five syllable words when he wants to but then he actually asked me how to spell "of" recently. He just doesn't care to concentrate on spelling. He's a math wiz though.

And did your words keep coming out "normal" by accident?

OK, now when I typed the thing above it did take a few seconds to get it all jumbled.

Does this mean, that dyslexia really doesn't exist, or would they see your post as we read these, as "normal"...:shrug:
