    Question about writing

    I haven't had a chance to talk with Cady's teachers about this but was wondering if you all see this too. Cady can write her name now but she writes backwards. The letters are facing the right direction but she starts in the middle of the page and then goes left. So when you look at her name it says

     Y D A C

    Normal?

    Oh, totally normal, especially at this age.  She understands what letters she needs, how to write them, and the sequence they go in; her only error is direction.  That tells me she knows which letter follows which and is focused on one letter at a time, not the whole word--which is completely understandable to predictable at this age.  It should correct itself easily enough.

    Jett can spell his name, but not write it.  Funny, Bri and I are both teachers, but we're in no hurry.  He'll write it when he can write it.  So, that Cady is doing even that much is quite good.

    Eliana can write her name now, but she writes it HUGE, lol. It literally sprawls from one end of the paper to the other end. I think it's totally normal at this age and so much fun to see! Even though she only goes two days a week for a few hours, I love how proud Eliana is and I love all the stuff she brings me home.

    totally normal for Cady and for Eliana. As a matter of fact they are both pretty advanced to be able to write their names this early on. Girls will do it earlier than most boys, although not all LOL Ryan cannot write his name yet, but will trace it. Its normal for kids to write letters and numbers backwards into kindergarten. I still saw it in first grade with a few kids too. Ryan tries to read the time on the digital clocks and quite often reads it backwards LOL
