I-I-C-P-T-N.
"Look, Mommy. It's Aye, Aye, Captain! I heard it on Spongebob."
That was Bryan playing with toothpicks at the dinner table. It's funny how he left out all the vowels. But he did get the consonants right.
I'm very pleased with his progress in school. A year ago, he would not be ready for some spontaneous toothpick spelling like this.
I'm also very happy with the fact that when he's asked what the letter is, he'll say the letter's name. And when he's asked how the word is being read, he will sound out the word phonetically.
But right now, I'm sure he's rising to the challenge of spelling bee. Actually, he was already spelling words younger. Words that are of significance to him, e.g. zoo! I think he was a couple months short of 3 then.
