Re: how old was ur child when they
My daughter just started school, she has just turned 4. She can write her name and most numbers since she was about 3. But I didn’t teach her as I was worried I would teach her wrong n if u do it wrong, it’s very hard to undo. She learnt on her leap pad and apps I has on iPad.
I would just wait until she is taught at school. The way the teacher told her to hold pencil is even different to how I hold it.

^^How can you teach a kid to write their name in a wrong way or write 1 2 3 in a wrong way…??
Re: how old was ur child when they
Agree!
Also do not expect your preschooler to write the name, letters and numbers left to right, top to bottom. It comes with time. Mostly by the end of kindergarten they should be able to do that.
Re: how old was ur child when they
Montessori is a philosophy. Google it!
I would suggest you educate yourself on the curriculum followed at ROOTS and their system.
Re: how old was ur child when they
I was also told by a pre school principal that you can’t expect a child to write before 4, my kid is 4 and started kindergarten, they are slowly introducing writing and tracing numbers and letters made in dots or stenciled form. It’s an exercise in patience, but kids learn fast and pick up writing.
Re: how old was ur child when they
Yes!
Re: how old was ur child when they
There are different writing styles as, 1 or I for the number one. a or the other a.
What I really mean is that here some schools teach alphabet letters and others teach using phonics. So wasn’t sure what her school would be doing.

Mosly schools follow D’Nealian or zaner-bloser. Teaching either methods is fine.

There are 2 approaches to teach language… Whole language where you teach letter named, word families without letter sounds, spellings sightwords and you are off to reading.
Phonetic approach is where you start with letter sounds and letter names, blending and decoding sounds to make and sound out words, word families, using letter sounds, sight words and then you are off to reading.
Phonetic approach is popular lately as research shows being able to blend and decode sounds is more effective strategy to teach reading. However, plenty of countries and schools are still using whole language approach.
As a parent if you don’t know what letter sounds are, it is safe to stick with teaching letter names.
