Symptoms of Dysgraphia

1.  Strong verbal but particularly poor writing skills.
2.  Random or nonexistent punctuation.  Spelling errors (sometimes the same word spelled differently)
     reversals; phonic approximations; errors in suffixes.  Clumsiness and disordering of syntax; an impression of
     literacy.  Misinterpretation of questions and questionnaire items.  Disordered numbering and written number
     reversals.
3.  Generally illegible writing.
4.  Inconsistencies:  mixture of print and cursive, upper and lower case, or irregular sixes, shapes or slant of
     letters.
5.  Unfinished words or letters, omitted words.
6.  Inconsistent position on page with respect to lines and margins and inconsistent spaces between words
     and letters.
7.  Cramped or unusual grip, especially holding the writing instrument very close to the paper, or holding
     thumb over two fingers and writing from the wrist.
8.  Slow or labored copying or writing - even if it is neat and legible.
