Just an update on DS so far. He was prescribed corrective lenses for farsightedness and we are still waiting on the developmental opthamologist referral. DS had his school conference and his teacher said he was a gifted reader and really enjoys him in his class. She is not seeing any behavioral problems his teacher reported in Kindergarten. She does wants him to practice his writing and sent home pages of letters to draw and trace. I was a little frustrated because I already told her we did these all summer with no improvement. She says that he writes his letters from bottom to top and has an odd pencil grip so needs to practice more to get it right. Is this true? Why has he not figured it out by now with practice? Is there something else we should be doing to help him? Thanks for any further suggestions.
