My son was given a spelling exercise book from his aunt recently while we were staying with her and other members of the family. “For rainy days,” she announced. She’s a teacher – I forgave her.
He actually seemed quite excited about it and flicked through the pages straight away, although I couldn’t help noticing a distinct look of envy when he saw the prehistoric animals book his brother had been given.
Well, we actually did have a rainy day (quelle surprise!), so the book came in very handy and I sat with him for quite a while going through the exercises, adding missing letters to spell words correctly, matching rhyming words etc. This is a book which supports the school curriculum for his age so it was very educational.
