Dd7 started 3rd grade and her slow writing speed and math computation speed are starting to become a problem. The expectations are high and she is getting frustrated. She claims she is the second slowest writer in her class and not able to finish assigned work. Her palms actually sweat when asked to write even a paragraph. But she has no problems sitting for hours and drawing. Her math computation speed is also very slow and she spends a lot of time thinking about how to show her work. My question is what resources are available to me to help her? Can I talk to her doctor about this? Should I meet with the teacher and discuss? Is there someone at school that can help, other than the teacher? Any websites, tools, tricks to improve speed? Thanks in advance for helping me help my very frustrated dd.
