Questions and Answers
This week's question: How do I support handwriting at home? Wonderful question! Three-year-old students should be able to draw basic shapes and imitate letter formation with an adult showing them what to do. Four-year-old students should be starting to write their name more independently and with less reliance on adult support or looking at their printed name. To encourage handwriting, provide your child with lots of paper and lots of opportunities to write. For example, if you are making a grocery list, give your child a pencil and paper and have them make a "list" too. In the beginning, their writing may look like scribble, but point out any letter-like markings and say, "this looks like you wrote the letter X," etc.
