What is Name Practice?
Name practice involves providing repeated opportunities to help kids learn:
- to recognize their names
- to recognize the letters in their names
- the order of the letters in their names
- the sound of the beginning letter in their name
- the sounds of the other letters
- to trace their names
- to form the letters in their names
- and finally to independently write their names
What is An Editable Name Practice Activity?
There are many name activities that you can use to help your kids. Editable name activities are great because they allow you to easily customize and print personalized name activities for the kids in your class.
Editable name puzzles are great for preschoolers because they help kids with the beginning steps of learning their names (from recognizing to forming letters).
I have designed many different printable name puzzles. Today, I’m going to feature my celebration or banner puzzles. They are great for Christmas, New Year’s, birthdays, and all kinds of holidays and celebrations. The printables also work well for little learners with longer names.
Two Types of Name puzzles for more Editable Name Practice Activities
There are two versions of the confetti-clad editable name practice puzzles included with the resource. The first has solid black letters and looks amazing when printed on brightly colored paper.
They work great for helping your kids
- work on name recognition
- learn letter recognition
- remember the order of the letters in their names
- learn the sound of the beginning letter in their name
- and more
The second version has outlined letters. This version of the editable puzzle is perfect for kids to work on name tracing and letter formation and writing.
Kids can color or trace the letters on the puzzle pieces with crayons or markers. Get several different colors of markers or crayons and they can trace their names or rainbow write their names. And…guess what? This is so much more exciting than a boring editable name writing practice worksheet.
