What I mean is that it isn't just faster orally, but the detail is richer and it's more fluent, because she doesn't lose the thread due to having to write. I think this is generally true of younger kids. Which isn't to say anyone here doesn't have dysgraphia!--just that I was surprised that it would be considered typical to have written work be comparable to oral output at this age.

DD is in a GT school and I see kids who are soooo verbal and articulate in person but whose writing skills are just nowhere near that (DD's mismatch is less profound). Of course, maybe some of those kids are dysgraphic. I notice that writing is really all over the map for these kids.
