[quote=Anonymous]OP, any update?

I found this thread by doing a search because I am realizing similar prolbems with my (older) child.

He is identified as TAG is a very strong reader, and is smart.  His writing is OK, but nowhere near the level it should be.   He's in 4th grade, and is writing I guess as a basic 4th grade level -- but that takes him a lot of time and effort and he HATES it.   If he dictates his essays to me, he uses long sentences with compound sentences and high level vocabulary -- but when he has to write it himself, he chooses sentences with four or five words and one syllable words to make it easier.   If I read his dictation back to him he struggles to write the words, they are legible but just barely, and he HATES doing it.

His fine motor skills seem OK.  As a younger child he really enjoyed playing with Legos.  He has no problem cutting or working with tweezers on small projects.  His problem seems to be eye-hand coordination, though.

How can you document that a child is 25% behind in a handwriting skill?   Have you figured out any kind of help for your child?[/quote]
