My 4 year old is one of those having difficulty. She can count up to atleast thirty with ease but recognising numbers on a page is proving hard for her.
I was trying to come up with ways to help her, working along with her teachers and we came up with a few methods.
Rhymes worked well when learning her letters so her teacher dug out some number rhymes to see if that would make things click.
To an extent they did. She now recognises 3, 4 and 8 remembering the words used to desribe them. Three looks like handcuffs and is known as thieving three, four has an oar (like on a boat) and 8 is like a long snake.
Repeating really drummed them in to. I purchased a white board so we could easily write them down and rub them back out again. And then I spotted the Tildo Magnetic Number set over on The Toadstool, our white board is magnetic so this was the perfect addition to reinforcing Gracie's learning.
