If this is a problem with encoding spoken language, your son may have an idea about what he wants to say, but can't put it into words. It may be out of sequence or lack references to cause and effect, or may contain errors about the characters or their deeds. In your son's case, this may mean that he has a good idea floating around in his head, but he can't put the ideas into a written story that makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, learning disabled children or adults who have problems ENCODING have difficulty putting their ideas into messages they can deliver and that can be understood by other people. For children and adults with learning disabilities that are characterized by problems with decoding, it's like being sent messages in a foreign language or in hieroglyphics.
Kids with poor phonics skills or who have poor auditory memory may have trouble decoding written or spoken messages. Or, in order to understand a long set of verbal instructions and act on them, a person has to decode (make sense of) the message. A child who has a problem with decoding may have difficulty sounding out (decoding) words using phonics.
Difficulties in understanding often have their roots in problems with "DEcoding." People who have problems using language may have a disability that affects ENcoding. People with learning disabilities may have difficulty in either using or understanding spoken or written language. Your son's teacher is probably referring to an "ENcoding" difficulty.
