Spelling?

Since the time hubby started(and left the rest of the job to me as always) guiding Renee on how to read some words, she's been asking us constantly on the formation of words.

We are not fully phonic equipped but we try our best and she's now able to write things like 'mommy, I love you, you are my dear', 'papa, I am sorry, I will not do it again', 'vanessa, you are my friend', etc. However, don't be impressed too soon ok, she can't remember all the words we've taught her ya! lolz...

But, her daily spelling checks seemed to have helped her a little, 'cos today, she took 1 of my mailers which read 'are you ready for the .....' and told me "mommy, look, 'are you 'what' for the..." and just now, she drew a big oval shape, put in the word 'Singapore' and asked me how to spell 'idol'. I was doing something and didn't respond very well to her request and when she got frustrated, I have no choice but still not wanting to spell it out for her like hubby does, I tried to 'read' out the word, emphasising on the pronounciation of the letters and guess what, she managed to form the word by herself. Has she fully grasped the phonic foundation, surely not la, the school hasn't even started a single thing on this and she's not gone for any enrichment in this area but for now, it's enough(for me) that she could spell some words in this way, kekeke.

This is what she's wrote for me tonight, hahaha :
