Brave Spelling

Regan continues to work on "brave spelling". A concept where she writes words and sentences by sounding things out and not asking for help. Apparently the idea is that children become more discouraged when they have to repeatedly ask how to spell something, while gain confidence as they try spelling on their own. We like brave spelling around here for a number of reasons; think of how tiring it is to constantly hear "mom, how do you spell _____" minute after minute!
Last night I caught her brave spelling her middle name.
Any "brave guessers" out there willing to guess what she was trying to spell?
