How it works
- Add names. Type one name, or paste your class list with one name per line.
- Choose the handwriting your school teaches: clear print.
- Pick a size and rows. The sheet on the right updates as you go.
- Download and print. Every name is its own page in one A4 PDF.
Clear print for young writers
Children in K1, K2 and Primary 1 form their letters in a clear, upright print. These sheets use that print, with start dots and stroke arrows you can switch on, so children learn where each letter begins and which way it goes.
Teaching a child to write their name
Capital first, then lower case
Children see their name with a capital letter and lower-case letters on their bag and their books. Type the name exactly as you want it practised, or set Capital letters to “Capital first”.
Little and often
A few rows a day works better than a whole page at once. Slip the sheet into a plastic sleeve and use a whiteboard marker to practise again.
In the MOE curriculum
- K1–K2Writing their own name is one of the NEL Framework’s writing goals, alongside upper- and lower-case letters.
- Motor skillsIts fine motor goals include developing an appropriate pencil grip.
- Primary 1Lower primary English begins with writing readiness and print script.
Names in a Singapore class follow different customs, so decide with parents which form to practise. A child registered as Tan Wei Ling is usually called Wei Ling in class, and a name with bin, binti, s/o or d/o is usually practised without that part at first. Type the name the child answers to.
In K1, a few letters of the name a day is plenty. By K2, many children can trace the whole name and then try it alone on the last row.
