My younger son had issues with those very same things. I had to stop trying to have him color or write except for tracing and forming letters to practice that way and then once he was older having him write brief answers after he would orally answer the question There are app.s to download to help. They do best with being aloud to answer questions orally or express themselves through plays they can act out and that kind of thing rather than writing stories. My son did fine with other fine motor skills including working with tiny transistors and things in a robotics class later. it also helps for them to trace with finger. In the dirt, Trace in a tray of salt or dry rice

If this matches your son's needs, then my favorite oral curriculum for younger elementary kids (especially boys) is First Language Lessons by Jesse Wise. It had been a favorite with each of my kids. Each lesson is short and can be done without any writing on the student's part. Usually Volume 1 is done K/1st grade and Volume 2 1st/2nd grade age.

Here's the curriculum link - they have PDF options if shipping is an issue for you. I usually did it with the child sitting in my lap on the couch. It was a great bonding time for them.
