For her, it was writing, tying, etc. While she wasn't delayed in those areas, she wasn't advanced as she was with reading and math concepts. Interestingly, I had similar issues in 1st grade with my poor writing and coloring and my teacher gave my mom a list of crafts to have me do at home to further things along (like one of those loop looms to make pot holders). I still enjoy crafts!
ETA: My kids had the disadvantage of having an Occupational Therapist for a mom. I was constantly doing developmental testing on them, starting from birth with that Babinski reflex and pretty much always knew exactly where they were developmentally.
