Invented Spelling

Karianna was writing a note today during her quiet time (which turned into a 2.5 hour activity since Mom fell asleep, but that's not the point). She showed me her work and I was just tickled to see her invented spelling-such a fun part of a child's growing literacy skills!
Here's three things she wrote (one of which will be obvious). See if you can read them phonetically and decipher what she was trying to write. Scroll down to see the answers!

1. Sinfeyu
2. Slepi Boude
3. Lautensheogr











Answers:

1. Cynthia (her doll)
2. Sleeping Beauty
3. Lautenschlager (she has it memorized to the Laute-, the rest she just sounded out...might be the most unique spelling of our last name I have ever seen!)
