At what age can a child spell their name?

Question

My son is 27 months and he can spell his name (Oliver) most of the time but sometimes he forgets the letter i .

Answer

Omg just say he’s 2!

Answer

Usually around 4, but all kids develop at different rates. It sounds like you may have a gifted one your hands, encouraging curiosity is great!

Answer

My kid spelled her name before 2 but it's not a very difficult name to spell. I'm sure kids learn to spell their names at all different ages depending on how difficult the name is to spell.

Answer

I think my daughter spelled her name consistently correctly at around age 5. ￼

Answer

My four year old thinks his name is bubba 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s just his nick name that’s pretty good though we’re still working on numbers 1-10

Answer

I think that’s fine. I wouldn’t be concerned AT ALL.  I have a two year old and I can’t remember when she could spell her name.  Her name is Olivia, very similar!   But she still will leave #4 out sometimes when counting🤪 (pretty sure she does it on purpose at this point)

Answer

My 4 year old still can’t spell her name correctly all the time.
