Writing their name

Literacy

• The 4-year-old student demonstrated an understanding of letter recognition by identifying the letters in their name as they wrote it.
• Through the activity of writing their name, the student practiced fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which are essential for developing writing abilities.
• The student also showed progress in understanding the concept of ownership and personal identity by associating their name with themselves.

For continued development, encourage the student to explore writing their name in various mediums such as sand, paint, or with different textured materials like yarn or playdough.
