Spelling...ling...

Nowadays, Nelson has to study his spelling 3 times a week, one for BM, one for BI and Chinese.
He is only 5 and I am wonder it's too early for kids to do spelling??? Every morning, he will show me a sour face and mention that he cannot score 100%. I told him it's OK if you don't get full marks, but you must try your best next time.

Besides teaching at the primary school for Olympiad Maths, and my own centre, the thing that makes me feel headache and stomachache is to teach Nelson to study his spelling. When I teach him spelling, I really put out all my heart and soul and full of patient. Still remember last week the spelling words are tiger, frog, cow and one more " CROCODILE". Oh, my God, he is angry there and give up learning such a long word.

Today, again the words are wasp, moth, beetle and " LADYBIRD". I know he will not get 100% mark today the word "ladybird" he can only spell till "LAD.......". SIGH!!!!
