Name writing
Writing one's name is arguably the most meaningful of all experiences young children have with print. It creates identity, a sense of self as distinct from others and as a means of classifying self and others into groups. Children are more likely to learn other words with letters that are in their names, thus, a child's name seems to present a vehicle for learning about each child's growth in literacy (Haney, 2002)
