My DD1 enjoys writing and reading.
Her spelling is not great however, it is usually phonetically correct though e.g. writing watched as wochd. She isn't corrected by her teacher as they don't correct spelling in reception.
I do correct her at home and she tends not to forget as I would then do spelling work with her based on what she has written.
Is it the norm not to correct spelling in Reception and why not?
