That's so interesting to me that your son's cursive writing was better than his printing. Sadly, the school system in my state doesn't include cursive writing in their mandates anymore. His first grade teacher advised us to start keyboarding with him, which he loves. (BBC Dance Mat Typing for anyone with young ones interested in learning.)

My son (6-years-old) struggles with his handwriting/fine motor skills. Though his teacher says it's exaggerated because of his advanced academic abilities. She says he's within the parameters of "normal" for his age on this front. I wonder if he'd be better at cursive than printing? Hmmm...I'll have to keep this in mind this coming year.
