They put me up from 2nd to 3rd grade in the middle of the year, so I missed out on Phonics, and Aye kin' speel gud. Spelling has always been hard for me...I usually get all the right letters in, but not in the right order... I wish every site had spell-check on it. I'd embarass myself less. ??? Maybe I'm a little Dyslexic like Einstein. Not bragging(really) but I have a high IQ(168 last time i was tested...to go to work making fish-finders!!!). I've been told lot's of people with high IQ's are Dyslexic. Churchill was. So was Lloyd George(although he could write dirty notes to his mistress). I think Nixon was too. Ansel Adams was. And Teddy Roosevelt was terribly dyslexic. He couldn't write a readable sentence
