Writing the Numbers 1-5

Say the rhymes with your child as you demonstrate how to form each numeral. Then have your child write the number.

1 Start at the top and go straight down;

here you have number ONE.

2 Start at the top and around the bend and then a straight line back; when you’re through you have a TWO.

3 Start at the top circle half way around and half way around again; to make the number THREE.

4 Start at the top straight line down and straight line over, and one long straight line down once more; look at that you made a FOUR.

5 Start at the top straight line down, circle half way around, and don’t forget to add the straight line on top; that makes for a fine FIVE.
