The comment about 5th grade proficiency by grade 2 reminds me that, in hungary,
there is essentially no class called spelling in public school (or elsewhere).
My father could not understand what this discipline was about when he came here
at the end of high school.  The entire concept was foreign to him.  Hungarian
is spelled in an intuitive manner, freeing up much time and effort for more
useful learning.
