My 8th grader is taking French at ps this year. She is barely passing it this semester, but it looks as though the great majority of her mistakes are spelling mistakes.
I've never had her formally tested, but we've always suspected a mild LD. She's a pretty good reader now, but she has always had a terrible time with spelling and writing.
I never took French, so maybe I'm off base, but it seems as though Spanish is much easier to spell. I am trying to convince her to switch to Spanish next year, but she really wants to stick with French.
Any experience or suggestions?
