I have just got DD (3.5) from pre-school. Her keyworker showed me where she has been writing her name over the top of where he has written it for her, and also that she is writing 'I' and 'O'. He says this is a very good sign as she is ready to learn the next step of writing her name properly and forming other letters etc.
But he went on to say that's it's a contraversial step for her to learn this at her age as when she gets to school the teachers will want her to unlearn it and relearn it their way - as in National Cirriculum I suppose
I learned to write my name before school and am overjoyed DD is starting to try to do it.
Any thoughts you lot??
