~9 min Literacy & Phonics

Your name is one of the most important words you will write.

In this lesson you will:
  • Say the letters in your name in order.
  • Write your name with a capital first letter.
  • Hold a pencil correctly.

Say It, Then Write It

Say your name slowly. Listen for each sound. If your name is Ada, the letters are A, d, a. The first letter is capital, the others are small.

Pencil Grip

Hold the pencil between your thumb and first finger, and rest it on your middle finger. Do not squeeze too hard. Let your wrist rest on the table.

Trace and copy

Trace your name three times with a pencil.

Then write it once without tracing.

Note Neat writing comes from practice, not speed. Take your time with each letter.

Practice

  1. Write your first name five times.
  2. Ask an adult to spell your surname. Copy it once.
  3. Write the first letter of your name in a big capital.

Recap

Names begin with a capital letter. Slow, careful practice makes writing neat.
