What it is

Counting out loud in order is the very first number skill. Kindergartners start by counting to 20 without skipping or repeating, then learn to count by tens to 100. By the end of the year most kids can count to 100 by ones too.

What comes next

Writing numbers 0 to 20.

How to teach it

  • Count out loud together every day, in the car, on the stairs, while you wait. Short and often works best.
  • Point to each number on the chart as you say it, so the spoken word and the written number go together.
  • Start counting from numbers other than 1. "Start at 7 and keep going" builds the skill the trains practice.
  • Count by tens with a clap or a jump on each ten. It turns into a chant kids remember.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping a number or saying one twice, especially in the teens.
  • Saying "eleventeen" or "tenty". The teen and ty names take practice.
  • Getting stuck at a decade change, like going from 29 to 30.
