Age Rating

All children develop as individuals.  Parents and caregivers should use the age ratings below as a general guideline, taking the abilities, temperament and interests of their children into account.  

• Ages 4-5   Good exercise for children just starting to print their letters. 
                   Gives a feeling of success to kindergarten students nervous about printing.
    
• Age 3      Straight, zig zag and curved lines are all appropriate to practice at Age 3. 
                  Encourage tracing from left to right.
    
• Age 2      Focus mainly on straight lines.
                  Encourage them to draw their line from left to right to mimic the process of printing from left to right.
