yes, thanks for responding. Spelling is usually below grade level. Until around sept of 2013 all his words would almost look like they were "glued" to each other. He would say to me that that's how he sometimes saw the words on a book. Since we started working harder with him, this has improved. It takes effort to read what he writes because of the spelling mistakes.He does not like to write. I noticed that at times he will basically write the same thing. For instance, if he is writing about a pet. He will choose 2 or 3 reasons why he would like a specific pet and then repeat the same ones during the one or two pages that he is required to write without adding anything to improve the text. I have been told "he is just not that interested" but I think that's a symptom, not a cause. His verbal ability is clearly higher than his ability to put words on paper. This week he told us that he is afraid of writing some words because he is afraid he will mispell them.
