Arkansas Foundations of Reading Test (FORT)

A student with dysgraphia would most likely have difficulty with:

1. Spelling words orally

2. Writing on lines and forming letters

3. Reading aloud fluently

4. Learning new vocabulary words

The correct answer is: Writing on lines and forming letters

A student with dysgraphia is characterized by specific difficulties with handwriting and the physical act of writing. This condition often involves challenges in writing on lines, forming letters accurately, and maintaining proper spacing and organization on the page. These issues stem from the neurological aspects of dysgraphia, which hinder the fine motor skills necessary for effective writing. While spelling words orally, reading aloud fluently, and learning new vocabulary may present challenges for some students with learning disabilities, they are not the primary symptoms of dysgraphia. The core difficulty for a student with this condition resides in the mechanics of writing itself, making the ability to write on lines and form letters the most pronounced area of struggle.
