If it's so freaking hard, how come my 5yo just read a new book straight through without errors which contained the words through, straight, thought, sight and night? believe me, his "sight words" are 2, 3 and 4 letters.
Patterns? Do I hear something about pattern recognition? No surely not!
Of course he's a genius, but if a 5yo can deal with all these silent letters, inconsistencies and rule breakers then it's a bit wussie to claim that indirect spelling is holding intelligent people back.
/proud of our 5yo
//worried about what else he might have read when we were lulled into thinking that he wasn't interested in reading....
