@Begborrowsteal My son is a summer baby, he had terrible trouble learning to write and I was so, so worried about it but now he writes for fun. In reception he just didn’t have the coordination or the strength to hold the pencil. He’d never coloured in for fun (he’s still tit at it now but he doesn’t care) so he just had to wait for his muscles to catch up with his brain. He was mega articulate and good with everything elso so he just used to try and charm people into letting him off which obvs. didn’t happen.
He was put in a little group which they called a club and made seem fun so he didn’t feel ostracised by the others, and given chunkier pencils until he learned to use normal pencils with a pencil grip. They also let him use ipads if he had to ‘write’ a certain amount as even when he knew how to write and was technically ok at it he just took so much time to do the same amount as the others.
Echoing others to say hang in there. When I look back on bday cards from him that have capital letters 3/4 the size of the page I smile now, but at the time I was convinced he’d never get there.

these kids, theyll always worry you! 
adding in a line or two as good behaviour is a great idea!
Like your son, I found writing in capitals much easier than cursive and got quite frustrated. But guess what? I grew up to be a professional writer innit 
He sounds like a confident reader, which is great, and I’m sure you’ll help him find a way through this cursive writing bollocks - who writes longhand these days anyway?!
He is struggling with the work; he loves reading but cannot stand writing. He struggles with it, gets upset, then distracts others by making them laugh (instant gratification for something hes good at). Hes been targeting his friend, who now doesnt want to sit or play with him 
I need to figure out how best to speak to his teacher & the inclusion officer, all this covid lark has changed everything! 
Its not as easy to hide as pelvic floor exercises.
