Spell check? It's for the birds and computer nerds. Bring on the misspellings! (and run ons!)
How boring it must be for a teacher to take her work home to grade only to see these funny misspelled words, giggle to herself, and then pass the paper out to the children the next day.
I am fortunate. During the grading I call Katie and read it to her exactly as she spelled it.
Today's word was "tharfor".
I put on my best pirate voice. I said, "Arrrrg me Katie. Come to me. Be ye tharfor arrrrrrrg merciful...." She erupts in laughter.
Next it was "Borther". In my best German voice I demanded "If zyy Borther Haagen Daz Veinershnitzel shall tresspass against zee......"
We can laugh and giggle together. And its a fun thing.
So next time your little one misspells a word, put on your best voice and make it fun!
Here's a few samples of misspelled words over the years:
