Exactly! Her verbal skills are where her giftedness shows itself, so it's painful to watch her try to express herself (she definitely has a lot to SAY) in writing. I have arranged with her teacher that some things will be written and some will be dictated and I will write them. She has been great with allowing that. For K and 1st we schooled from home. I decided to put her in a charter school for 2nd b/c I needed some help figuring out what was going on with her...I knew something wasn't quite right, but I couldn't determine what it might be. Luckily the charter school is very flexible and student centered/led so they work with her strengths and weaknesses. I love what you said about separating handwriting from expression. I think that may help somewhat with her resistance to writing. I will have t look into the typing program you mentioned. Thanks!
