Some children will learn to write their name when they are 2 or 3 (this is rare, don't feel like your 3 year old should be able to write their name) while others are still having difficulty when they are in year 1 (this is something that I would certainly be working on, but I see it often enough to know its common).
The simple answer is don't worry about it. There is no age that your child must know how to write his name. It will probably start emerging around 4 years, maybe a little earlier or later. If your child is too young developmentally to be expected to write, then the same applies to his name.
Babies often understand and even respond to their names between 4 and 6 months old, but they typically won't say their name until they're between 18 and 24 months old. We would expect a typically-developing toddler to be able to clearly and consistently say their full name between 2 and 3 years old.
Children often begin to show this knowledge around 5 or 6 years of age when they produce spellings such as BO or BLO for “blow.” We tend to think that learning to spell doesn't really begin until children start inventing spellings that reflect the sounds in spoken words — spellings like C or KI for “climb”.
Begin to grow your child's awareness of the letters of her name by starting with the initial letter and pointing it out often in everyday print that you come into contact with — on signs, cereal boxes, book covers, etc. You can say, “I can see a T. Your name, Tomo, starts with T. '
Toddler Letter Recognition
If your child is 2 to 3 years old, he or she may sing the alphabet song — but can't yet identify letters. About 20 percent of children can recognize a few letters by age 3, often the letter that starts his or her own first name as well as other letters contained within the name.
Physical Development
Most children at this age will be able to write their name, write some letters of the alphabet, and draw simple shapes.
Phonetic stage
The child uses a letter or group of letters to represent every speech sound that they hear in a word.
Hyperlexia is advanced and unexpected reading skills and abilities in children way beyond their chronological age. It is a fairly recently named condition (1967) although earlier descriptions of precocious reading do exist.
Advanced Sentence Structures
A typical 2-year-old can construct sentences of two or three words, often without a verb. For example, a child might say, "There cat" for "There is a cat." Gifted children, however, will often be able to speak in fuller sentences at age 2.
By age 2: Kids start recognizing some letters and can sing or say aloud the “ABC” song. By age 3: Kids may recognize about half the letters in the alphabet and start to connect letters to their sounds. (Like s makes the /s/ sound.) By age 4: Kids often know all the letters of the alphabet and their correct order.
Most toddlers begin identifying primary colors at the age of 2 years old. But, naming shapes is a type of skill that might take a little longer to develop for some kids. Generally, at the age of 3, many children can already identify some of the more advanced shapes.
Between the ages of two and four, children's ability to understand the actual concept of numbers and counting improves dramatically. Most children are counting up to ten, or even beyond, by age four.
Early Phonemic Stage
Transitional stage spelling or invented spelling - First letter of a word is used to represent the word (I went to the nature museum).
The Three Great Spelling Rules (The 1-1-1 Doubling Rule, the Magic-E Rule, and the Y Rule) present difficulty to many students, often requiring additional practice sessions to truly master these rules. Teaching each rule in a multisensory manner is of critical importance.
Can't support head (by 3 months) Doesn't babble or try to imitate sounds (by 4 months) Doesn't bring objects to mouth (by 4 months) Doesn't push down with legs when feet are on firm surface (by 4 months)
Signs and symptoms of challenging behaviour
fussiness (e.g. refusal to eat certain foods or wear certain clothes) hurting other people (e.g. biting, kicking) excessive anger when the child doesn't get their own way. tantrums.
Around two years old, the toddler knows that one remains when one object is subtracted from 2 things. He also knows that when 1 item is added to 2 items, there should be 3 in all. He can group objects with similar characteristics, such as the same shape, the same size, or the same color.
In terms of skill level, most 2-year-olds can make a 'v,' a circle, and vertical or horizontal lines, although not with utmost control. By three, some children will be trying to write some letters or make “tadpole” people, which marks an important transition to representational uses of symbols.
Though every child is different, most toddlers will be able to count to 10 by the time they are two-years-old. At this point in time they are probably repeating them mostly by memory and have yet to understand what they actually mean. This concept is known as “rote” counting.
His research has shown that 2-year-olds pick up on other people's preferences, understand others' desires and emotions, know the appropriate name or word for many objects, and can tell when someone says it incorrectly and even correct them.
