[QUOTE="nvts, post: 117777, member: 3814"] Terry, I have a different twist for you. We went through the same bit with my 9 year old. Is his handwriting extremely sloppy? Does he misspell words that he's had since day 1? Does he reverse letters (not all the time, but more than YOU think he should considering his age?), seem to go for as little detail as possible? When you read a story outloud and ask him questions, does he seem to be able to answer those question better than if HE read the paragraph and answered written questions? During difficult child 1's neuropsychologist I brought in a hand-written note that he had done 3 days before his evaluation and asked them to look at it AFTER they spoke to him and tested him. They agreed and they then scheduled a follow-up and found he has a read/write disorder. It wasn't all that prevelent until the work started to get harder. Math is linear. It has to end sensibly. It's an easy skill to master. The written word is less tangible and for kids like ours there could be an underlying issue here. I'd get it checked if I were you! Just a suggestion! Beth [/QUOTE]
