FREE Number Words Flashcards

A lot of young children can count, but can your child recognize numbers? Teach your children how to read numbers with these number word flashcards. The Flashcards contain the numeral, as well as the vocabulary word.

Once your children can recognise numbers, try to teach the number vocabulary. I recommend introducing them slowly (maybe 3 a day). After your students are confident, why not seperate the number vocabulary word from the numberal. This way, you can play activities with your students and make lessons more engaging!
