Remember, every child develops at their own pace. They need the strength in their fingers, the coordination, and the desire to learn this skill.   If they are not ready, don't worry, they will all get there.  .

To the left you will also find various ways to help your child, at all different levels.  Click on the different links to see the listed activities (pre-writing, build their names, write their names).  Choose the ones your child will benefit from and enjoy.

Two additional notes on directions for all the activities that I did not include on the pages to the left:

• Point to the letters and name them.  Have your child point to the letters and repeat the letter name.  When they have mastered repeating them, then just let them name them for you while pointing.  Eventually they will not need to point anymore, they will be able to spell their name without even looking.
• Create a name plate for your child to use as a guide with all of the activities.  See the directions on the "Write Their Name Activities" page.
