The Spelling trick


Hi Sidra,

In the last post there was a video showing you apparently spelling some words like owl, van, and toast. You were definitely pushing the right buttons on your toy. I'm not sure you were really spelling. I showed you how you could push the right buttons. The toy you were using only asks you to spell words that are on the toy. Near each of the buttons on the toy is a word beginning with that letter. So, next to E is ear. The only words that you are asked to spell are the ones that are on the toy. I showed you that if you knew the letter the word starts with then all you needed to do was look at the word on the toy to find the other letters.
You can see in the video how you are looking near the T button to complete the spelling of toast. Even though you have that hint going for you I am still impressed that you can use that strategy.

Love, aba
