Moms with 6 year olds can your child spell his/her last name out loud? My niece (my brother’s daughter) came over today, she’s 6.5 and going into first grade and didn’t know how to spell her last name. My daughter is 5.5 and hasn’t even been to kindergarten yet, she was in TK last year and she can spell her first and last name out loud plus her brother’s.

I mentioned it to my sister since her son who just turned 6 is going into first grade and she said he can spell it on paper but not out loud.

So my daughter is advanced? I figured all 6 year olds would know how to spell their first and last name but I guess I was wrong and she made me feel bad for bringing it up.
