I'm just wondering if this could be indicative of a problem.
Ds (5.4) has just started year 1. He is v bright , his reading age was assessed at 7, and his numeracy is amazing - possibly gifted levels.
However his writing isn't great. School havent raised concerns but we have noticed his pencil grip isn't particularly firm, and also that he reverses letters and numbers a lot. It's odd because it doesn't seem to match his other abilities.
I'm just wondering if this is a cause for concern and if We should mention something to the teacher? Or do any special practice with him? He's not that interested in writing (probably because he finds it hard- he loves doing numeracy because he finds it so easy, it's a vicious circle!) so getting him to practice wouldn't be easy .. Or should we just leave it for now and see if school mention it?
Thank you.
