For the parent or teacher

What it is

A child's own name is usually the first word they learn to write. It teaches that letters go in order, that a name starts with a capital, and that the rest of the letters are lowercase.

What comes next

Copying simple words.

How to teach it

Write your child's name in the top box first, big and neat, with a capital first and the rest lowercase.
Let your child copy it underneath in a different crayon on each line.
Then put one letter in each box and count them together.
Point out the name everywhere, like on a cubby, a lunchbox or a drawing.

Common mistakes

Writing the whole name in capitals. Show that only the first letter is a capital.
Leaving out a letter or writing them out of order. Counting the letters helps.
Running out of room. Remind your child to start at the left side of the line.
