(Weird, for some reason quoting is not working for me: I'm getting an error message about only being able to quote blank levels deep... I'll italicise instead.)
Quoting DeeDee:
Sometimes kids "draw" their letters instead of "writing" them-- using, in effect, their art skills to compensate for a language-and-motor deficit.
I'd heard of that, but I don't think it's what DS is doing. (He does not *have* any art skills to speak of - art is by a long way his weakest area.)
We change out the texts he copies when he gets more than 85 characters per minute finished, so he doesn't get attached to any one text.
85 characters/min sounds like quite a lot to me - I must count and see what DS is doing now. Any particular reason for picking that figure?
