Learning to write for 3 to 4 year old children.

 

• • Children make distinct marks that look like letters and that are separated from each other.

 

• • They write some actual letters, especially the letters in their name. They may write their name.

 

• • They may also start to draw pictures and label them using letters or letter-like marks.

 

Learning to write for 5 to 6 year old children

 

• • As the children get old they start to hold pencils correctly and form letters accurately.

 

• • At this age they know the sounds letters make and can spell words based on how they sound.

 

• • They spell some common words that aren’t spelled the way they sound (often called sight words).

 

• • They soon start to read and write short sentences.

 

• • Soon the children will be able to write sentences using different types of writing such as narratives and book reviews (“Why I liked this book”).
