My son Noah is in 4th grade. He is a great reader (97th percentile overall in reading + vocab + comprehension, per standardized state tests).
However, we can hardly read his handwriting. His writing assignments are horrendously sloppy. He is also awful at punctuation when writing, but knows his stuff on multiple choice tests. He will score 100% on a test on punctuation and grammar and then go and make all the mistakes when he actually writes out a story long-hand.
Any advice, or programs, books, suggestions to help him become a better writer?
