Name Writing Practice Booklet for EYFS

Name writing practice booklet for EYFS: children trace and copy their own name (capital first, then lower case) across 30+ playful pages, ideal for September.

WHAT’S INSIDE (37 A4 pages)

• Pages where an adult writes the child’s name in pencil to trace and copy (works for any name, no editing needed)
• Capital and lower-case alphabet tracing A to M and N to Z
• Name games: count my letters, clap my name, find my letters, rainbow name, name train, name detective
• All-about-me pages: family, friends, birthday, favourite things, when I grow up
• Make-it pages: name tags, door sign and bookmarks, plus a certificate

HOW TEACHERS USE IT

• Baseline and transition: a booklet per child in the first half term of Reception
• Self-registration practice and name recognition in Nursery
• Send home so families can model the name in the school’s letter style
• Print the colour copy once and the black and white copy for every child
