Our daughter is 3 years and 2 months old. We have been trying to teach her to write. We appreciate any help you can offer. I am so glad that you asked this question and that you phrased it so clearly and directly. By doing so, you have given me an opportunity to reach out to many parents who earnestly seek to give their children an early start with formal academic learning.
Parents are our children's first and most influential teachers.
But the lessons they need from us are not direct formal exercises designed to teach concrete skills such as writing or reading. Parents can do the most to enhance their children's eagerness for literacy by reading and enjoying books and stories together every day. Read signs out loud and talk about them. Be a visible reader yourself. Use the same approach for writing.
