Name Practice at Home | Preschool Family Handout

Give preschool families clear, practical ways to work on name recognition and name writing at home. This send-home resource walks families through four activities: recognizing their child’s name, matching and naming its letters, forming the first letter, and writing the whole name.

Families can check off activities as they try them, repeat as needed, and move on when their child feels ready. Each activity includes simple directions and a suggestion for offering extra help. Practice ideas use everyday materials, including paper, crayons, sidewalk chalk, playdough, and a tray of sand or shaving cream.

What’s included:

• A teacher guide with preparation and printing directions

• A family handout using a capital first letter followed by lowercase letters

• A family handout using all capital letters

Both family versions include a space for the child’s name model, activity checkboxes, visual examples, and tips for common challenges. Choose the version that matches your classroom, write the child’s name in the model box, and send it home.

Use with take-home folders, family conferences, or beginning-of-year packets.
