• A. 3 years
• B. 4 years
• C. 5 years
• D. 6 years

Answer: (C)

Children typically begin to print some letters and write their name around the age of 5 years. At this developmental stage, children are refining their fine motor skills and gaining more control over writing instruments. They start to understand the concept of letters and words, which allows them to reproduce simple letters and their name.

During this time, many children also begin to recognize letters and can identify some of them in writing, showcasing the connection between their cognitive understanding of language and their physical writing abilities. The skill often develops through exposure to writing and drawing activities, as well as encouragement from caregivers and teachers, further supporting their ability to write both letters and their names.
