He has developmental coordination disorder so the physical act of writing is hard, plus he hates writing and will generally write as little as possible and needs to be reminded to stay on task. He needs constant reminders about letter formation, capitalization, etc. He probably has some mild dysgraphia.

Most of the teachers ability-group the kids for reading so it's not that big of a deal if he can't accelerate, but the class instruction part of it probably won't be that interesting. She also seems to have very high standards, for instance she is teaching the first graders parts of speech like "adverbs" and expecting them to use them in sentences. I don't think DD has talked about adverbs that much that even in third grade. She did mention typing and how she wants to add keyboarding to his IEP.
