She has to learn:

Re: Daughter's spellings for tonight
Thats ridiculous as most (all?) those are compound (???) words. The roots are tricky enough as its is (I dont have a 9 year old tho!!
 ) but just teach the word and then how you can add prefixes surely?

Re: Daughter's spellings for tonight
Better to start at that age I suppose. They are starting to teach French at age 8 now. I didnt start till I was 11. Maybe thats why when we last went to Paris the waiters always had a slightly quizzical look.....

Re: Daughter's spellings for tonight
Wow, it is good that she is being streched, but when will a 9 yo actually use those words? Does she have to know what they mean as well?
