Name Writing

This is an fantastic place to start writing instruction and to work on letter formation and recognition.  The main reason for this is that students have ownership over their name.  A name is something to be proud of, and children are. 

-It is best to start with helping your child to get to recognize his/her name. 
-Children can practice tracing there names.
-Children can also use objects such as letter magnets to compose their name.

When students know how to write/spell their name, they can start to become confident in their abilities to write, read, and know letters.
