But mom's simplified things enough here that we can have fun writing our names and learn a bit about sounding out Egyptian writing at the same time. At times, different words sound the same but mean different things (for example: to and two). Egyptians added additional hieroglyphic characters to help sort out the meaning of the words. Also, keep in mind that the Egyptians didn't always spell from left to right. Instead of It's fun to stack and arrange the letters different ways to make the nicest look.
