How do I start teaching my toddlers to write and read?
booboo asked:
I have a 2 and 3 year old. They know their basic colors, the alphabet, they can count to 10 in english and spanish. How would I go about teaching them to write? I thought that I would first start teaching them shapes, how to draw them and then start showing them how to write the alphabet, would that be the right order? Any suggestions?

Play “School” and have them take turns practicing drawing letters and shapes. You can get wipe-off placemats at Walmart that they can practice on, or you could actually get a little chalkboard.
Good luck! Keep up the good parenting!

There are stages to writing. All of us have muscles in our fingers and children’s muscles are developing. As muscle develops writing will increase. Have your children do things such as playdough, blocks, unifex cubes, use tweezers to pick up cotton balls, string beads, cutting etc. Any thing to work those fine motor skills! A two year old should be scribbling with crayons and markers-having fun. At three teach the correct pencil grip. Teach letters and shapes that are round first, straight next, and then curves. The shape of a circle, the letter o the number 0 would be a great start. Use small crayons or pencils. Short pencils or crayons broke in half work best for those little fingers to fit around. Check out handwriting without tears.

For teaching them to change since it improves their vocabulary if you are several different.
Teaching them to the alphabet they use there are bilingual read to print in spanish also children learn another language.
For teaching them to the school they use there are several different ones now also children learn another language so easily at young age.
Teaching them to the alphabet they use there.
Teaching them to them to read to read dont push it improves their vocabulary if you are several different ones now also children have found this is hard for them.

They would benefit from any small motor activities: coloring, sorting objects, playdoh.
