Homework every Friday

Now in the second semester, the kids will bringing homework every Friday. In the first sememster, they only have school projects once every 2 weeks and we parents just supply the materials. But now with these homeworks, i will be able to do things together with them except they don't show any liking to practise writing. Maybe not yet...

Age Rating
All children develop as individuals. Parents and caregivers should use the age ratings below as a general guideline, taking the abilities, temperament and interests of their children into account.

Ages 4-5 Good exercise for children just starting to print their letters.
Gives a feeling of success to kindergarten students nervous about printing.

Age 3 Straight, zig zag and curved lines are all appropriate to practice at Age 3.
Encourage tracing from left to right.

Age 2 Focus mainly on straight lines.

Encourage them to draw their line from left to right to mimic the process of printing from left to right.

However, i have read that chidren should only start to practise to write at the age of 4 and should not force them into doing it as they may lose the interest to write at all if they can sense the stress when we parents started to get frustrated.
