How do u teach a two yr.old how to write her name and Abc's??

Answer 1

What is all this insanity about getting littler and littler kids to have school skills! A two year old will really struggle with the hand coordination to do this, while a four year old will do it easily.

Let children advance at their own pace. Let them explore the natural world. If you force them to do these very unnatural tasks you will not gain any advantage to the child, and can cause a lot of damage... if she is asked and encouraged to do this and lacks the maturity, she will remember that she failed and that you asked her to do something she couldnt do. Is that what you want?

Some brilliant kids develop academic skills very early, and others take a long time to integrate their perceptions into academic skills. My three kids included a slow reader, a typical happy go lucky and a total Type A. By Junior High they were all at the top of their classes, all three went to top ten schools on scholarships, and now thirty years later they are all doctors.

Let her be a child!

I would start by singing the alphabet song to the child. I would also point out letters in environmental print that your child is already familiar with. For example, when you see a McDonald's sign you might say something about the m casually. The next time you might ask what the letter is -- sometimes your child will get it right and sometimes he will not. You might point out letters on t-shirts you wear on a regular basis as well.

Check out the leap frog materials. My children have learned alot with the leap pad and other materials. There is a talking words factory video that leap frog has developed that my son seems to enjoy.

Starfall.com is a good website for beginning readers and might be fun for you child for short amounts of time. You might also want to get the wooden alphabet puzzles if your child enjoys puzzles.

Read to your child as often as you can. You will soon find your child "reading" books to you. I have two children who love to read. They seem to have picked it up naturally because they have been looking at and been read to since an early age. My three year old knows most of his alphabet and is now able to distinguish between letters and numbers, but that really was never my intention. He has just picked it up using the puzzles, videos, and games. ( I am sure that his older sister is also an influence.)

The last bit of advice is not to stress if your child doesn't learn as quickly as you think he should. Just make it a game and fun for him and he will probably become eager to learn more.

Your child may not have the motor skills needed to write his name just yet, but you should start with just one letter. After he masters the first letter add the second and so one. It will not feel so overwhelming for you child if you show him one letter at a time.

Good Luck!! and God Bless!!!

As a teacher, I think a 2 year old is a bit young for this writing. Better that she sing the ABCs and enjoy coloring. Eventually, you can have her trace the letters. By the way, when you do teach her to write her name, teach her to use a capital at the beginning and lower case with the rest. Enjoy her while she is little and don't worry about writing yet!

Answer 4

2 years old is too young to start writing....they teach writing at the end of 3's in preschool. Start out with just learning the alphabet so the child become familiar with the letter first.

Answer 5

I bought my kids notebooks at the dollar store (the ones grade schools used to use with the big fat lines) and its got the abc's on the inside cover of the notebook
and i bought them the big fat penciles and I'd hold thier hand while they held the pencile and wed trace the letters then go to a piece of paper and write it, I did it with them for a few weeks and before i knew my son would bring me one of his DRAWINGS and there'd be C's D's A's and a cpl other letters in his drawing
i also bought them books with the alphabet that u can write on then wipe it back off

Answer 6

Hello, it would be good to get your child familiar with the alphabet first. A good website to use is www.starfall.com. It is very kid friendly; my students like the colors and sounds. You can also buy tracing books from Walmart, Target, and places like that. You could also try alphabet games or magnetic letters. There is nothing wrong with starting early.

Answer 7

dot to dot lettering

draw dots for your 2 yr old to join up. to create the letter..

you can number the dots so they know how to write it properly..

i loved doing dot to dot as a child!

Answer 8

why would you pressure a two year old to do something that she may be incapable of at this early stage of her life? leave her alone!!!!!

Answer 9

I would sing them to the kids.
