my ds (4.9)is finding it difficult to write. his teacher mentioned to me last week that he is taking twice as long as the others to finish worksheets even though he knows the answers. he is very meticulous. he has also started to 'reverse' write letters and numbers, including his name which he has not done before. he is totally disinterested in colouring, drawing etc and was assessed as being hypermobile when younger.
I am worried that he might be dyslexic but apparently the schools don't test for this until a child is 7, by which time he may be way behind. most of his class are writing sentences (and the odd paragraph from some of them!). It is a 'hothouse' school to put this into context.
Does anyone have any experience/advice/hope they can give me.
