He is the cutest sweetest guy but writes so poorly and reading is coming slowly (knows sight words and letter sounds).
Should I just be patient?
Is there something I should buy that may help him?
Did OT in last year for a year, no improvement in writing.

Have you had him evaluated for dyslexia? It affects reading and writing.

It's only a few months into the school year. What does his teacher say? Does he stand out as compared to his classmates?

Can you hire a homework helper?
He might just need a little extra practice.

He’s on the lower range of normal but I am concerned.

Do you think it would help? I do homework with him every night.

Buy the book
Teach your child to read in 20 lessons.
The title is misleading. It is 20 chapters
And it can take 6-10 months to complete the book working for about 10 minutes a day.
Sometimes you may have to repeat lessons to review.

To strengthen DC fingers buy modeling clay, not play dough which is softer.
Encourage hanging from monkey bars and pulling a heavy wagon.
Coloring books.
Lace cards.

Try a different method. Sight words are memorizing, not actually learning to read. There are methods out there that can help.
Integrating writing with visuals, reading and sensory is good.
Cross body brain gym can help the brain excersize to improve skills that need to come together to read/wrote if that's part of the cause

Don't let things slide.
Here are things you should do, not in this particular order:
OT evaluation and get OT
Vision and hearing exams- rule out issues that make it hard to learn
Reading specialist evaluation and targeted tutoring- they can figure out what the issue is
