Very silly question...

[urchin]

I've got to get a bag with my son's name on it for his nursery. I've found one online and there is a choice of how to print the name - either all lowercase letters or with a capital at the beginning. I wanted to get it done the same way that he will first be taught it at school to help him recognise and write it. Do children get taught all lowercase lettering first? I wondered if any wiser Forumites could help me out with my education?

Many thanks in advance.

They get taught lower case first but are taught to write their own name with a capital letter at the front.

I would go with the capital letter at the front.

Don't worry about the school. Teach him the way that you would like to see it! How do you write his name? With a cap at front? That's what I would do. xx

Thank you very much for taking the time to enlighten me - I'll do just that x
