WRITING (as opposed to reading) requires fine motor skills at a level most children don’t reach until around the age of 5 or 6 (it varies). Recognizing letters and numbers (which is NOT the same as understanding what they mean!) usually starts around 3 or 4 o’clock.
Should a 4-year-old be able to write numbers?
The average 4-year-old can count to ten, although they don’t always get the numbers in the right order. A big problem getting higher? Those pesky numbers like 11 and 20. The irregularity of their names doesn’t make much sense to a preschooler.
Should a 3 year old be able to write numbers?
No 3-year-old needs to be able to write. Some young preschoolers can write by age 3, some 3-year-olds can read, some can ride bikes without training wheels…but that doesn’t mean we should expect ALL children by age three to be writing, reading, or Cycle.
Should a 5-year-old know how to write numbers?
Most 5-year-olds can recognize and write numbers up to ten. Older 5-year-olds may be able to count to 100 and read numbers to 20. 5-year-olds’ knowledge of relative amounts is also progressing. If you ask if six is more or less than three, your child will likely know the answer.

What should a child be able to write by the age of 4?

What should a 4-year-old know educationally?
Name at least four colors and three shapes correctly. Recognize some letters and possibly write their name. Better understand the concept of time and the order of daily activities such as breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon and dinner in the evening. Use the future tense, like “We’re going to the park soon.” 19
