Write or stamp first name on own work
When to use this goal
For kindergartners whose papers come back unnamed, or who need an adult to write their name. Present levels in writing letters and the OT's input decide fit; a name stamp or name sticker label is a valid choice for students who cannot yet write it.
- Baseline
- Check the first 10 papers of a week for a name without a prompt. Note the mode (written, copied, stamped).
- Tips
- Letter formation is a handwriting goal; this goal is the habit of naming work. Name stamps are fine and respectful. Families can practice with the same name card.
- Limits
- Does not measure letter formation or spelling. Shared projects need a different system.
