Morning Sign-In Routine
One simple way for our students to practice writing their names is by having students sign in each morning when they arrive. I like using a vertical surface for this task. An easel works great because you can adjust the height of it to make it work for the size of your students. This gives them daily practice and is great for building wrist and finger strength.

At the beginning of the year, I often just have kiddos write the first letter of their name, especially if they are new writers. Making this a daily routine is a great way to have consistency at the start of your student’s day.
