He got a C in writing the first grading period this year, and a B the second. Last year he didn't get the same kind of grades, but he was probably at the equivalent of a D.
Keet - that is wonderful news!
Personally, I believe that the more he writes, the faster he will get, but that very few gifted children will every really be fast enough handwriters to get their ideas out. If you haven't started teaching Keyboarding, then I would encourage you to do so. Since keyboard skill is a 'all roots, no stalk' activity in the begining, I would encourage you to be 'relaxedly persistient.' Since the OT seems to think that the handwriting can't be helped, perhaps you can ask for 'work around' accomidation instead that will cut down on the amount or speed required of his written production. I am thinking that you can maybe do this in a way that acts like 'curriculum compacting.'
Again - a B is a very good grade. Congradulations!
