Hi Polarbear
I'd be interested in the idea initiation and generation activities as well. DS is in grade 1, and writing tasks are not too onerous, but he has a hard time thinking of what to write. He had to do a 'book report' earlier this year, which only involved describing what the book was about - I had to prompt him for each chapter to come up with a sentence describing what happened. I was scribing for him (typing into the computer) so it wasn't a mechanical issue.
DS is also very verbal with an advanced vocabulary and great spelling skills - so this is something I hadn't expected. But during the recent vision testing (see other thread) one of the activities was to simply read out 2 columns of numbers - he was quite a bit below average in terms of speed (100% accuracy though). The optometrist said this was maybe a processing speed issue?
