Sound Spelling and the Computer

In Kindergarten you learn to use sound spelling. It's sort of like hieroglyphic phonics with no vowels and only kindergarten teachers can read it. Brandt has really improved his spelling skills this summer (mostly because I refuse to spell things for him and make him sound them out). He can spell pretty well, when he wants to and when he thinks about it and takes his time. If he is not concentrating I get things like this:
I am sad and I dot wat to tak uh bawt it.

I read this as something about not wanting to take a bath. Turns out, he didn't want to talk about it. You can see how I might be a little confused.

Now the computer. Both of our kids love to play on the computer and we restrict their access to sites like Noggin, Nick Jr, Disney Playhouse, Webkinz, Starfall...
I always turn the computer on, log into the internet and find the website for them. After that I didn't worry too much because the sites we allowed them on were safe. Yesterday I went into the study to find Brandt on Google searching for a lock box. See his above spelling skills and you can imagine what kind of results he was getting when he typed in lok box and skrt box (secret box). What he wanted was a box with a lock that he could put his treasures and secrets in. What he got was grounded from the computer until we can install Net Nanny. And we are practicing spelling more than ever! I did let him go on the computer today, with the very strict instructions that he could not leave the website he was playing on under any circumstances. He did as told under the fear of loosing his iPod.
