What age/year at school, would you put my Dc ar?

[Nonstoprain]

Looking at this?

This to me looks like a child being taught at home.
Schools don't let kids write in biros it's not good for them developing their hand strength as barely any pressure needed to mark make. The mixture of capital letters and small makes me think this too, and the fact that someone has marked corrections on with the same red pen a child has used.
It also looks like they haven't worried too much about letter formation as prob just thought it's brilliant the child is writing, but schools really work hard on letter formation and with good reason - it might be a bit boring but habits are formed early.

These threads always bring out ridiculous replies

About five?

Op are you worried that your child is behind? In which case talk to the teacher about how you can support.

Or do you think that they are very advanced and actually they are two and writing.

Either a home schooled child, an advanced child who hasn't started reception yet or an older child with SEND. It's hard to judge, as the letter formation is not how is taught in schools (sticks/dots, not left to right up and down and mix of capitals at this early stage of writing) but the spelling is above this stage of early writing/isn't typical for a child learning early phonics but may be for a child learning autonomously.

My child could write like that when they started school but they were a very, very good early reader and a very good writer. For full disclosure, they really, really struggle with maths so this isn’t an attempt to brag. However, there is a huge range is what kids can do and there are some year 2/3 kids who can’t write and spell that well. The spelling is fine, it’s the handwriting which isn’t so good - but obviously this is age dependent. If they are 4 it’s fine, but if they are 11 not so much!

anyway OP, you’ve had 6 pages of responses now. Are you going to put us out of our misery? Are you going to tell us they are 3?????

Similar to my dc reception class. Just turned 5 last week

Did they draw the picture?....

Reception-year 2

I still can’t work out what she saw: tobrsele?

They are at my children's school.

Sorry @hazelnutvanillalatte this was a response to @LostMyLanyard

My daughter is Reception and this is similar to what she’s been doing, and her peers.

4/5

I’d guess an able reception child. I don’t think the capitals indicate that they’re older, there are plenty of opportunities for reception children to learn capitals and chops to use them, we just don’t teach them yet.

DH's DGD wrote like that in reception. I still have it, dated. So 4?

Reception

That's actually really nice to hear. He's worked very hard. We correct if he gets things wrong but add a note to say what we've asked him to re-do. He did these sentences all on his own.
Credit goes to his school. He joined in Reception, unable to read or write. I feel awful about the nursery we sent him to.
His younger sister, now in Reception, joined in his school in Nursery and was reading and writing by the end of the year.
I think so much depends on the school and it's expectations. As I say, my son is considered to be bang in the middle of his class for both reading and writing.

Excuse SPAG errors...I'm on my phone 😂😂😂

My little boy is 5 in year one and he is not quite at this level yet but he is a bit behind bless him so I would say this looks like reception/year 1 but then this will probably be my son by year 2 it's so hard to say they are all so different!

There is some good knowledge and use of
digraphs there, such as -ew, ee. aw and oa. That's embedded year 1/2 level. But the handwriting and mixture of capital and lower case letters isn't great. Perhaps instead of focusing on handwriting, look into retain primitive reflexes. Some hand, eye, brain exercises to connect both sides of the brain together and to the fine motor control. Not straight to practicing handwriting.

Possibly a worried/anxious child as their nails look to be quite bitten down?

I'd say 3-4 year old.

Good literacy for reception
Average for year 1
A little behind for year 2
