Reflections on Observation Task 4: Development of Early Writing Skills

1. What are developmental writing stages the majority of the students in?

Let students draw and observe them if he can write he letter they
know it.
Make for each students name in flash card in writing area to
practice they names.
Child learns more about print by watching you write and by
listening to books, he will try to write letters himself.

2. Describe and explain two (2) suggested strategies that the teacher can use to help the
majority of the students within their developmental writing stage.

Put students name card in writing area, when they play in the areas they will follow the
dots then write the name without helping in daily.

In the end of the week give them home work of the letter they learned and write in the
home to help children to memorize the words of the sound when see the pictures the will
remember.
