A simple, engaging and fully editable name recognition and name writing activity designed to help children learn to recognise, build and write their own name.
Children work through three clear stages:
Read your name – recognise and read their name independently or with adult support.
Build your name – use the individual letter cards to build their name in the correct order.
Write your name – practise forming and writing their name independently.
The clear layout and visual symbols make this resource particularly suitable for Early Years, Reception, SEND pupils and children who need additional support with early writing skills.
Fully Editable
The resource is provided as an editable Microsoft Word document, allowing you to personalise it for individual children.
Simply edit the template to add the child’s name and change the individual letter cards to match. This means the same resource can be used again and again across your class.
Perfect for:
EYFS / Reception classrooms
Nursery and preschool settings
SEND provision
1:1 adult-led activities
Small-group interventions
Early writing interventions
Name recognition practice
Morning work
Continuous provision
Writing areas
Fine motor activities
Individual workstations
Home learning
The Read it, Build it, Write it approach gives children repeated exposure to their name while developing name recognition, letter recognition, letter sequencing, early writing and independent learning skills.
The individual letter cards can be cut out and laminated so children can physically manipulate the letters to build their name. The main activity mat can also be laminated and used with a whiteboard pen, making it a practical reusable classroom resource.
A useful addition to any Early Years or SEND classroom, particularly for children beginning their name-writing journey or those who benefit from additional repetition, structure and visual support.

Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold
Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting.
Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 5/6 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)
