We work on name recognition every day! Starting with a child's own name is one of the most effective ways to teach letter recognition and reading. Names are meaningful and personal, making them a natural starting point. Over time, children also begin to recognize their friends' names. We read name books daily, and each child has their own. You'll find their names posted all over—in the classroom, bathroom, on cups, folders, and cubbies.
The name plates your child brings home each week may seem simple and repetitive, but they're learning much more than just their name. We're also working on shapes, colors, letter recognition, scissor skills, counting the letters in their name, and patterns. The younger children match shapes with the letters written on their name plate, while the older kids put their name together independently. The older children also trace or write their name themselves.
