I found some info that I wanted to share with anyone else that might be struggling. http://www.quickstartreading.com/steps2.html ... I followed the plan that this site gives and had her writing her first and last name within a week! | |

Kid's often learn by example and copying. Also, they love things that they don't usually get to touch or do.

I remember my mother would make sheets with dotted lines I could follow so I can learn to write my name, alphabets, and numbers. She also did it in cursive. I was writing in cursive by the 1st grade. Ofcourse it looked neater by time I got to the 3rd grade. | |

I think that all children learn at a different rate. My eldest daughter was writing her name after the first week of preschool shortly after she turned 4. Both of my boys, if memory serves me correctly, were writing their names in kindergarten with great ease. My youngest has been the quickest to pick it up, probably because she has so many role models and was writing her name when she was 3 years old.
Less is BEST! | |
amphitriteJoined: 5/25/08 Posts: 15 Happening MommyTalker Rep points: 95 Send PM | Title: Teaching your Child to write Posted: 2 months ago My 3 year old son started learning how to write last April and now he can write his whole name without the dotted lines guide. What we did was to practice him everyday by tracing the dotted lines three times. Until I saw him take home a paper from school where he wrote his name without the dotted lines. | |
amberautumn4Joined: 2/27/07 Posts: 334 Seasoned Vet Rep points: 2032 Send PM | Title: Teaching your Child to write Posted: 2 months ago Just the other day my daughter and I were looking at some papers from when she was learing to write. We were looking at a paper full of D's, she said "boy I really didn't know how to write huh?" All of her D's had big bellys ( that's what we called the curve of the D). I told her no, you just wanted them to have really big bellys. We used a lot of humor when we were learing how to write. We associated each letter to some kind of picture, like the A was a pointy house, the C was an ear, the D ate too much and had a big belly and so on. It was fun and it always got us laughing and the letter usually got exagerated but it kept her writing and it didn't matter at first if it was just right or not. Good luck and make it fun. Learning should always be fun! | |

The only way I have been teaching my four year old to write is by leting him trace. Now he says he has homework to do, lol, and starts writting his name and other alphabet letters he remembers.
