My son and I are working on cursive this summer using HWT (Handwriting Without Tears). And if we have time we are going to review printing which his you can't read at all.

When school starts I am sending in some HWT workbooks for him to use when he zooms through all his work. Usually he reads. There is no reason why he cant do two pages from HWT put that away and then still have time to read. When I work with him generally he doesn't like for me to "instruct" him very much (the teacher's manual has all sorts of activities you can do for the instruction). The description and illustrations are enough for him.

If he doesn't improve by the end of this next school year I am going to take him for some private OT.
