[quote=Anonymous][quote] OP here. Thank you. Can you say more about problems with writing? My DS, is a good reader, good at math, verbal, bright, etc...but a fairly terrible writer and I'm concerned about dysgraphia. He has terrible hand writing, sometimes doesn't complete in-class written work because "he didn't have time" and has trouble spelling. He also tends to be pretty literal and a "black and white thinker" which maybe causes problems with analogies?  What kinds of things do I need to look out for in 3rd grade?[/quote]

If you have concern for dysgraphia, definitely schedule an appointment with the teacher and/or pediatrics to see their opinions. They are professionals, and if the kid's teacher has not raised a concern, I guess likely he should be OK. Many kids, especially boys, are bad at writing at this age, including mine DS. He is also a "black and white thinker" and got complained by his teacher about not easygoing to his classmates when they made mistakes. His Inview analogies result is good though (98%). MCPS curriculum really don't put much emphasis on writing for ES student. So unless the specific school or teacher is really responsive and puts effort on writing, the PARCC score in 3rd grade will yield bad because that actually tests the writing skill. All other ES standard tests (inview, MAP, HGC entrance test, etc.) seem to not test the writing. Correct me if I'm wrong. [/quote]
