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

[Nonstoprain]

Looking at this?

Why on earth should being left handed make a difference?

There is no advantage to learning early. There are no prizes for being first and it doesn't predict who will do better in the long run.

In Scandinavia they're still in pre-school at 6 and their literacy results are excellent by the time they're 11.

Reception/ year 1 for writing. Drawing he/she draws better then me

Looking again
I'd say a year 2 with some coordination difficulties making their writing rather wild.
Year 1 without the tidiest handwriting, but pretty good literacy
Reception with pretty good handwriting and quite advanced literacy

Reception. I work in year 1 and this is unusual, not unheard of, but not meeting expectations.

Reception or Y1.

Reception. The drawing on the left also looks like a reception child did it.
Saw and went might have been taught in class at some point. They might even be on display on the wall.
The child might have asked for beach and copied it from the board.
It depends on when the writing was done. Did your child do this at home or at school?

I taught reception, although that was 15 years ago so maybe standards have changed. A lot of children could write like that by the end of reception.

Not preschool.

I'd say an older Y1/Y2

An 8yr old, close relative, wrote like this. Now, aged 9 and there has been a significant improvement.

Year 1

It is the same handwriting as my 11 year old son in year 7. He is extremely dyslexic and also very academically able. He uses dictation software these days.

Except that it can foster a love of reading.
I agree. It's no predictor of long-term academic success.

Reception or Y1

Around 4 years old

Spelling-year 1.
Writing-early reception.
That is what it would look like in my school anyway. Every school is different.

Edited to add, the child is possibly aged between, 4 and 7, as the 's' is reversed.

My 11 year old writes similar to this but smaller. He has learning disabilities though. I would guess year 1 if no SEN.

Who is Gabrielle? Your little one seems to have spelt that difficult name almost correctly & the letters are all close together compared to all the other words...

Age 4 or so - but I've seen 3 year olds write like this.

Now off to see what the OP says

Its better than my child and my child has just turned 5, left handed to always puts e, g, b etc the wrong way round and also getting tested for asd. His dad had dyslexia and dyspraxia I suspect may be the same. What age are they op? I wouldn't worry too much everyone's writing improves with age or we could have a child genius as you haven't told us the age yet 😄.

I’d guess nursery with the mixed lowercase and capital letters. Or maybe a summer baby Reception pupil.
I’ve been a TA in Reception (and have a little one of my own) and the formation of the “e” in beach makes me think 3/4 years old.

Looking at the picture in the margin, as well as the text, this reminds me of my children (both average ability but autistic) when they were about 7.

I would say a year 2 child who is struggling with their writing. (Teacher)

It's practically identical to my yr1 child's handwriting. And not far off my year 4 child's writing but both my children have dreadful handwriting!

This is not middle of the road year 1. This is full sentences with good capital letters and full stops. This is expected for the end of y1.

I agree with this. Or even a year 3 with additional needs. There is some understanding of all of phase 5 which year 1 won't have covered yet.
