Invented spelling, be gone!

A child must be free to practice making words, making sounds, free to experiment using and combining letters, free to make mistakes.

While a word may be spelled incorrectly, it can be phonetically correct. When a child is coming to learn how to write and ultimately read, they use phonetics to support their efforts. They sound out how they hear the word, letter by letter. With time and practice, the child's confidence grows and they refine their skills.

Have fun with invented spelling with the little ones! Sometimes we can't figure it out, but them little ones, sure can!
