Kathryn Louis has several wonderful articles about teaching young children. This one is geared towards teaching children to write using Montessori methods and supplies. She recommends you start at about age 3 with metal insets, then move on to sandpaper letters, and then the moveable alphabet. She has more detail and much more at her website.
