DS is the same age and has the same issue, but with him it's complicated by the fact that he has problems with handwriting and it's tedious for him. His teacher gives him graph paper with his assignments and staples graph paper to his homework, and then if he uses it compliments him on it. Sometimes he gets a Starburst taped to the assignment with a "WOW--good job using scratch paper." DS actually asked for graph paper one day when she forgot and that earned him a starburst as well. He also is given a lot of reminders. On the WJ achievement he scored very high but wrote absolutely nothing down except for the answers on the fluency section. So there were some careless errors lowering his score.
