teaching a writing-ready child how to print her name is whether or not to teach formation using all capital letters. While the tendency may be to teach all capitals due to the idea that capital letters are easier to learn how to form, the appropriate strategy is to.....drum roll please.....teach name writing with capitalizing the first letter of the name only. All remaining letters should be presented, modeled, and/or practiced using lowercase formation (e.g. Alex). This teaching method reinforces the correct visual representation or "chunk" of letters in the child's name as he will see it across settings and throughout his life!
