Counting tips:

Count stairs, letter boxes, or objects in two, threes, fives and tens whenever opportunities arise;

Put out the number of knives and forks needed for dinner and ask your child to count them in sets of two;

Talk about numbers whenever opportunities arise. Ask questions such as “Which is bigger/smaller/the same/different?”, house numbers on long streets;

Take note of larger numbers as they occur (e.g. house numbers, page numbers in books).

Encourage your child to read the numbers and talk about other ways they could have been written.
