What age would you put this child at?

For writing etc? Any teachers to give feedback would also be very helpful 🙏

Depends on whether the child has dyslexia or not. Could be any age.

I would say 4-6yrs.

You’d be surprised how many children, having been taught how to form letters a certain way, go ahead and use their own method of “formation”.

Meh, my two year old could probably copy like that if I coached him. But he’d have absolutely no idea what he was actually copying.

My daughter definitely did this by 3 and she is in the second bottom set for literacy.

Age 5 but awful letter formations. Either the school is teaching wrong or badly home educated.

A young 4

End of reception or year one so age 5/6

Doesn’t look dyslexic to me.

Wow, I would have said around 6. My kids wrote like at about 6 (if I remember correctly). I remember lots of the letters around the wrong way or not written correctly. People saying 3?! My children couldn't even write their names at 3 (not that I made an effort to teach them). I'd be pretty impressed with a 3 year old who could write full sentences.

For both of mine that would have been 3/4 but my great niece and nephew both have absolutely appalling hand writing similar to that at 5/6 .

I would say about 4-5 too.

Doggyland sounds amazing and I want to go there.

Anywhere from 4-7. Probably early after 6th birthday if I had to guess.

It looks very like my dyslexic child's writing.

4-5?

An average nursery age child 3ish, possibly a Summer born reception, although still a bit delayed, or an older child having difficulties with writing.

I think the child could be older as the spelling is good. My children both had terrible hand writing, my nephew too. So maybe up to 8.

One of my children wrote like this age 3/4 and the other at age 5/6. The latter lost most of reception due to covid and has caught up fine.

my handwriting is not brilliant now, and wasn’t when I was in school, didn’t stop me doing well

I’d say 4, but maybe younger as they have not been taught letter formation yet.

It looks very much like the writing of my non dyslexic children though!

All of them wrote like that in reception.

Reception to year 1 but the spelling is y1 accuracy - ay in day for eg not taught until y1 as a grapheme for the ai phoneme. Also y for ee in doggy. Is this copy writing eg someone else has written it down?

Probably the poster was referring to the frequent capital letters which are avoided in very early phonic teaching in UK schools. But they could have learnt capitals at home and just got confused or their name might begin with a 'D'.

There is such a massive variation in children’s abilities OP - it’s impossible to say. Some children are frequently given pens and paper and shown how to draw or write at home. Some children are never given these things at home so take longer to reach a certain level.
It doesn’t mean much.

My 4 year old can't write like that. My 6 year old can't do much better either but he's suspected dyslexic, but I'd say that's about a 'normal' 5-6 year old standard.
