About this chart

What kids practice

Writing numbers means forming each digit the right way and knowing what the number means. Kindergartners learn to write 0 to 20 and to match a written number to a group of things, including 0 for none.

Watch for

  • Writing numbers backwards, especially 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9. This is very common at this age.
  • Writing teen numbers in the order they sound, like 41 for fourteen.
  • Starting numbers from the bottom, which makes them harder to write neatly.

It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full writing numbers 0 to 20 guide for kindergarten.
