Der parints,

       Az ur child brings home riting for the ferst tim, do not be serprizd at the speling. The inglish langwij is confuzing for studints. Prematur insistint that studints uz standard or “correct” speling inhibits their dezir and ability to rit. We will uz “temporary speling” in r wrk. It iz a grat assessment to se wut yor child nos.

       Az parints u can hlp ur child bi prazing awl thair riting. Let ur child red their ritinf to u. Displa their riting around ur hom. No that as ur child becomz familyer with riting, he or she wil mak the tranzishun to standar speling.

                                         Thank u,

Dear parents,

As your child brings home writing for the first time, do not be surprised at the spelling. The English Language is confusing for students. Premature insistences that students use standard or “correct” spelling inhibit their desire and ability to write. We will use “temporary spelling” in our work. It is a great assessment to see what your child knows.

As parents you can help your child by praising all their writing. Let your child read their writing to you. Display their writing around your home. Know that as your child becomes familiar with writing, he or she will make the truncation to standard spelling.

Thank you,

Kindergarten Teachers
