Some ideas -
1) Hothouse writing. Get a copy of handwriting without tear book and do 10 minutes a day afterschool. he will complain - just be firm, and tell him that when he reaches a goal (you'll have to pick a reasonable one) and is practicing writing in school, ahem, that he won't have to do it at home anymore. You may offer a bribe.
2) make an appointment to sit down with the teacher an listen to 'exactly' what her observations and concerns are. Gently introduce the idea of LOG, and that if he is too far below his readiness level, he won't act like a typical bright kid.
3) Don't waste money on an IQ test to 'show the school.' Ask for 'end of year tests' from 2nd and 3rd grade to show them what he knows in their own 'language.' OR say you think he has a learning disability because his writing is so far below his reading (LOL!) and ask the school to do a formal assesment. This request has to be in written hard copy.
Best Wishes,
