Why we Use a Name Writing Notebook

One of the first exciting milestones that many preschoolers meet in their pre-k year is learning to write their name. 

While this process can be exciting, preschool teachers often face the challenge of keeping track of where each child is on their name writing journey. 

Not every child is ready to jump in and write their full name. It's a process and one that we must respect for each child.

And respecting that process is the exact reason I created the Personalized Name Writing Notebook my second year teaching pre-k.

• Why the Personalized Name Writing Notebook is a successful approach to name writing
• When to use the Name Writing Notebook
• Differentiating the Name Writing Notebook
