Are spelling bees in Colin's future?

Colin has learned so much in his pre-k class this year. He has learned all of his sounds for the letters & is working on his writing....he can write the letters but just working on the "neatness" factor.

So, what amazes me is that he is becoming a great speller! Sheridan learned to read by recognition, so sounding out unrecognized words was rather challenging to her. However, Colin is learning to read by sounding out the letters. So, he keeps asking how to spell something, sounds out the word, then VOILA! He has spelled it!

Here are some words: hot, gas, pass, duck, pack, mud. There are more, but I can't think of the words.

Just so proud of my 5 year old!
