What it is
Every number has a name that can be written as a word, like 3 and three. Kindergartners start to recognize the number words, especially one to ten, and match them to the number and the amount.
What comes next
Counting to 20, then to 100.
How to teach it
- Read the words together. Many kids learn them as sight words.
- Match each word to its number and a set of dots or fingers.
- Point out the first letter. Six and seven both start with s, so look at the rest.
- Trace slowly and say each letter.
Common mistakes
- Mixing up words that start the same, like two and three, or six and seven.
- Mixing up the teen words with each other.
- Writing the letters out of order.
