[quote=Anonymous]My son is similar in terms of extreme handweakness (at that age) and difficulty with written output/organizing thoughts. He was also amazing with numerical calculations at age 5 but has trouble articulating how he arrives at an answer. I am new to this system so perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about, but I suggest you keep working on OT (hands WILL get stronger over the years), esp. on proper pencil grip, proper letter strokes, etc.; get all the help you can get....and then (here's where some may disagree) don't worry about his marks at this age. You set your own goals for his writing and encourage him to meet those. It is not worth his or your stress and as he matures he will be more capable of handling more work (I'm talking middle school and beyond). I'm not sure grades are important in the early stages except for getting into special programs (which seem high pressure to me--but don't quote me). [/quote]
