DS (9) has terrible handwriting. I mean so bad that I struggle to read it a lot of the time, and I've no idea how his teacher reads his stories, for example. He still gets "b" and "d" the wrong way round a fair amount of the time, and his spelling is terrible. We are nearly at the end of Y4 and he still can't write a paragraph people other than his (lovely) teacher can reliably read. It seems to be very small, and just practically illegible.
So, what to do? Everything else is fine; in fact more than fine, he's very much at the top of the class for maths, for example, and in the quiz team, and a good sportsman, etc; he's clearly bright. I doubt dyspraxia, for example, given he can play ball games well, could cycle without stabilisers at 3.
Dyslexia possibly? It's never been mentioned though. His speech was a bit slow to become clear, but he had horrible glue ear too, so I just blamed it on that. He's left handed too, but I think it's more than just being a bit awkward. He had a left handed pen which helps a bit I think.
Any ideas? We are planning lots of practise but he's very touchy about it.
