Hi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh HOW NEAT!!!!! I have tutored many Hispanic Children. Not that they didn't speak English nor read it BUT there are so many same meaning but different spelling words in our English language! Also their sense of humor is different from mine. Their-there Hour-our-bougher No-know There-their Or-oar Bear-bare Try to explain this mess. I bet you can add on to these examples. I use my speller all the time. I am a good speller but my key board doesn't always behave!!!!!
