Kindergarten Screening Tools - Name Writing

Area Tested: Name Writing

Name writing - Your child is asked to print his/her name on a blank piece of paper. We check for hand dominance, pencil grip, formation of letters and directionality.

Activities to strengthen name writing:

1. Practice, practice, practice! You can create your own handwriting work sheets here:

2. Opportunity- find reasons for your child to sign their name like on a card to grandma or at the top of their paper child's menu at the restaurant

3. Purchase or print out lined handwriting practice paper and make it easily accessible
