From our teachers' playbook

From scribbles to sentences!

What do kindergartners learn about writing?

Kindergarten writing starts with letters. Kids learn to form every uppercase and lowercase letter and to write their own name. Then they use a mix of drawing, labeling and writing to share ideas: a picture of their dog with "my dog is big" underneath. They sound out words and write the sounds they hear, so "kat" for cat is a sign of real progress. By the end of the year, many kids write a simple sentence that starts with a capital letter and ends with a period. The click moment is when a child realizes that what they say can be written down and read back by someone else.

Our favorite ways to grow young writers

Kindergarten writers need strong letters, lots of sounds and plenty of reasons to write. These moves give them all three.

Sing the alphabet, then write it

Sing the alphabet song while pointing to each letter on a chart. Then pause on a letter and have kids skywrite it with a big arm. Songs fix the letter order and names, and skywriting gets the motion into their muscles.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Trace, copy, write

Teach letters in three steps: trace the letter, copy it next to a model, then write it from memory. Say the stroke directions out loud together, like "start at the top, pull down." Lowercase letters need the most practice, since most writing uses them.

Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Questions parents and teachers ask us

What should a kindergartner be able to write?

By the end of kindergarten, most kids can write their name, all the letters, and simple words using the sounds they hear. Many can write a short sentence with a capital letter and a period.

Is it okay if my kindergartner spells words wrong?

Yes. Writing "bot" for boat means your child is hearing sounds and matching them to letters, which is exactly the skill they need now. Correct spelling grows as they learn more phonics.

Should kindergartners learn uppercase or lowercase letters first?

Many teachers start with uppercase because the lines are simpler, then move quickly to lowercase. Lowercase needs extra practice because most of what we read and write uses it.

How can I encourage my child to write at home?

Give writing a real job: a grocery list, a birthday card or labels for toy bins. Let your child draw first and then write or tell you about it. Short and fun beats long and perfect.
