Writing DevelopmentWriting Development• By 18 months they begin to hold a pencil
or crayon and scribble. • During preschool years, you can recognize
the shapes they are drawing.• By age 4, writing is clearly different from
their drawings.• Pseudowriting: children's early writing,
reveals knowledge about written language. This looks like scribble.
• By age 5, children are frequently incorporating letters and letter-like forms into their pseudowriting.

SpellingSpelling• Learn to write their names and a few
words as soon as they know the alphabet.• First/second grade- incorporate common
letter patterns (-ight, -ound, -ing)• Invented spellings: words that are made
up by children by capturing the sound of what they are trying to spell– This is a hws the sun wl shin nd mi grdn wl gro

with a purpose in mind– A toy, letter to grandparents

Promoting writing Promoting writing developmentdevelopment
• Provide tools for drawing and writing as soon as children are old enough to use them– Children explore with writing, drawing
and painting– As fine motor skills, cognitive abilities
and knowledge of written symbols continue to improve during preschool years, they will continually produce recognizable shapes and letters.
