I think the main thing is to get them saying the sounds as they write the symbols that represent them. Let him peek again if he forgets, but encourage him to pay better attention to the next word. I decided since she was already making those sorts of mistakes, it wouldn't hurt to try the Scratch Sheet Spelling. Although she hasn't done well on the actual scratch sheet spelling, I can see a noticeable difference in her attention and she is starting to get more correct on the regular spelling with each week. He loves spelling and he likes spelling workout.
Any advice is much appreciated.
