Children need to begin to make
ReplyDeletemarks on paper and write their own names
Encourage your child to start making marks on paper
using different tools such as pencils and crayons.
Get them to tell you about the marks. What do
they mean?
Write down their name and get them to copy or trace
over it. Talk about the fact that they are writing and
give meaning to the marks.
Experiment with words by getting your child to give
you a message. Write it down and repeat it together.
You can also play games that encourage children to link
sounds to letters.
