Preschool question is 5 years old young to be writing the alphabet?

My older son is almost five years old and he’s already writing most of the alphabet. It’s amazing, he’s learning his numbers and letters in preschool, and I think 5 is a young age to be already writing letters.

Do you think that’s early, or normal for a boy to be writing like that so early? I have to say I’m a very proud parent :) But, I am curious.

Answer #1

Theres no age too young to be writing and if he is five and writing i think that is normal. If other kids his age arent writing yet the your kid is a fast learner and relly smart. lol

Answer #2

Dont sweat it, your son is gifted. Learning early is fundamental, before you know it he’s skipping a grade in school!!! My nephew was the same way and my sister though is was strange too but actually it is perfectly normal. I say live it up and take it in. It just goes to show that you are an excellent parent!!

Answer #3

no, i was putting together 100 piece puzzles at the age of 2, and writing in cursive at 4. But i didnt turn out to be a genious.

Answer #4

its about normal age-i was forced into ritin soooo many letters to my grandma to teach me to rite wen i was about 3/4/5. my cousin learned wen he was 6.

Answer #5

Sounds normal to me. At my son’s preschool, they have them writing by age 4. Now he asks how to spell things and writes them as I spell them out to him. Currently, he’s learning to use upper and lower cases in the correct places. They will begin beginning reading exercises in Dec. My son will be 5 in the spring.
