Yes, writing is by far his weakest area. As I say, I have no idea what is actually expected in K and 1st because DD was so far beyond expectations in this area.

I asked him if he would write me a story this afternoon, and he cheerfully obliged, as follows:

Once there was a gulper eel that made friens
He met a pram bug
He made friens with it
H liked him
He askt foer a play daet.
He playd.
Goodbyy sied his friend.
Goodbyy he sied.

He asked for help on how to spell "once," and I reminded him about periods (which he did here and there, but not always, as you can see).

It's a clear narrative, but not exactly, uh, complex.
