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

[Nonstoprain]

Looking at this?

So @Nonstoprain 4hrs later can you let us know your child’s age

either they are

Genius if 2/3

normal /average 4/5

slightly behind 5/6

very behind or learning issues if 7+

Around 4? That’s just how ours used to write the year before they started reception.

I'm really surprised so many people are saying reception. I would have thought an older Y1: or possibly even a young Y2.
While it's a bit messy the spelling and sentence structure are too advanced for reception and I don't know any nursery children who can write anything like that well.

I've seen kids try to write this sentence but write 'I'm going to the bitch' instead

My kids better than your kid
mine wrote like that at 6 months old and gave stick people actual hair styles

seriously what is wrong with some of you

Does it really matter stop comparing 🙄

How old is the child who wrote it?

6 months

Reception Age 5.

😂 PERFECT

I’d say 5 ish, reception/y1

Year 1 or 2?!
I would think nursery. The children in my sons' inner London primary could write much better than this in reception.

All depends, doesn't it? Our school wouldn't have children below Year 4 use those lines. Letter formation, child not writing in lines and letter size would put it at Reception level for ours. Does the child have issues with fine motor skills?

I agree with this. It is odd to mix in so many capitals though and letter formation needs a lot of work.

Why left handed?

My assessment is through being a Nursery/Reception teacher for 30 years.

reception to Year 1, aged generally around 5

So please tell us the answer

I would say my very able yr 1/6year old is only one step above this handwriting-wise, and it took him to the end of reception to stop doing random capitals everywhere. His sentence structure was ahead of this at the beginning of reception though. He’s ASD/ADHD so presentation isn’t really his thing but he finds phonics and structuring writing comes naturally.
Reception-Yr 1 seems about right to me.

Reception
Great they can think of a sentence and write it down, remembering finger spaces and it makes sense.

They are getting mixed up between lowercase and uppercase. They need support with some of the letters formed.

If reception and independent that's great they just need to work on their formation .

@RosePosse I'm aghast at nursery teaching digraphs! I would like to think nursery at this stage are embedding phase 1 phonics and possibly looking at phase 2 and making cvc words using first sounds (satpin).

I’m a teacher and would say Reception/year 1

I’m just here for the big reveal

Very much middle of the road at his school.
Some of his classmates are way ahead on both reading and writing.

I’m a teacher too, I’ve not met even a very able nursery child to know the ea digraph and use it correctly in beach, even a ch is more of a solid reception child than nursery
