She is a little behind in her fine motor skills, but I know that none of the other 3 or 4 year olds in her preschool can, so I think that's still pretty normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107760 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 17:24:04 +0000 KT326 2107760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will be 3 in a couple weeks and is no where near writing letters. He does draw a line and say that is his name :happy: I think that is pretty cute for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107742 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 16:44:14 +0000 Sparkler 2107742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was able to at 3.5. Within a month or twos time he went from not being able to hold a pencil to being able to write pretty much all his letters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107740 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 16:37:21 +0000 meredithNYC 2107740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nearly 3 year old can't do it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107725 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 16:16:56 +0000 HLK208 2107725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 for DS and 2.5 for DD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107721 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 16:11:20 +0000 erinpye 2107721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5, but she didn't have each letter quite down and did her own versions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107414 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 12:18:45 +0000 pregnantbee 2107414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 yo is on his way.....but I don't think a stranger could read it yet. His name has 5 letters, and a couple are definitely recognizable. We have more work to do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107396 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 12:03:45 +0000 yellowbird 2107396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd is not even close to writing her name at 2.5 she can write the letter O pretty consistently buy that's it. Everything else is a scribble! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107376 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:39:14 +0000 mediagirl 2107376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friends of ours have a 3.5 year old who can write her name. Our 2.5 year old? Laughable. :) Maybe someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107375 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:37:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 2107375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 3 months outside of 3 years old and nowhere near being able to write her own name. She can write the letter "e", but not really many others consistently, and she has a long name.</p> <p>When she draws pictures/makes art though, she now "signs" it with her "name" - it's a very artistic little scribble that she puts in the corner of every picture and says is her name. So, if that counts..... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107362 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:29:53 +0000 Andrea 2107362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was around 3 years old. She has a pretty easy name. I think it will take DD2 longer... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107177 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 09:11:02 +0000 rachiecakes 2107177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J started at 2 but he has a 4-letter name (that includes an "O") and is OBSESSED with the alphabet and spelling. I don't think it's normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107176 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 09:09:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2107176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive can do it at 3.5 and i can't remember when charlie could exactly, but it was definitely much earlier. he was very interested in letters after we taught him mrs. cowgirl's name song.</p> <p>you definitely have to write it in pre-k and charlie was 3 3/4 at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107174 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 09:08:33 +0000 Ree723 2107174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 is 2.5 and nowhere near writing her own name. She can spell it and recognise the letters, but she is still in the scribbling stage of 'writing' (I use that term loosely!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2107138 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 08:41:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 2107138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been working on letters at 2.5 but she's not quite there yet. I'm guessing she will have it by the time she's 3 or close too. At least her nickname, which is only 2 letters repeated ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2106991 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 06:28:36 +0000 mamimami 2106991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shortly before age 4. I think it's a "standard" (common core) for pre-k? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-writing-their-own-name#post-2106989 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 06:23:24 +0000 MamaG 2106989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just after she turned 3. She can spell her sisters name as well but not write it yet.

I was just wondering when most kids hit that milestone. </p>
