Question re: WISC-IV subcats, esp. Coding?

[Jill]

I'm poking through Hoagies, reading the Harcourt assessment, etc. but I am not finding a good definition of Coding and of exercises to help improve it. I can't even define it! Is it simply "pencil to paper skill"? Is it definitely an indicator for dygraphia? or just maybe? or not?
My ds's coding is comparable to a dear dear friend's dd and we are trying to find a definition and more info.
If anyone can please point me in the right (write?) direction, I would appreciate it.
I'm also interested in digit-span. But a clear guide to the subcategories would be fine too, I think. Not sure I know enough to even say _that_.
Thanks again! - Jill in ND

Thank you, Captain Uhura. You have the coolest screen name ever by the way. I've always been a bit jealous of it. :) - Jill
