Evangeline got her report card in the mail.

Mostly good news all the way, but in writing we were unsurprisingly told that she is "approaching grade level" and must "work on using conventional spelling". That's a nice way of putting it. I would've definitely have said "correct", or maybe "standard" if I wanted to alliterate. Conventional makes it all sound more choice driven than spelling really is, except for marketers.

Her spelling does improve, but so slowly!
