About this worksheet
A number can be written two ways: as a numeral, such as 4, and as a word, such as four. Children see both on clocks, in books and on birthday cards, so reading number words is a real reading skill as well as a math skill. On this page the numerals stand in order down the left side, and the number words stand on the right in a different order. The child draws a line from each numeral to its word.
Number words are tricky because they do not sound out the way a beginner expects: one, two and eight break the usual rules, so they are best learned by sight. Each sheet uses a different mix of numbers from zero to ten. Support sheets have four numbers, standard sheets five, and challenge sheets six. Read each word aloud and count on fingers to check.
What your child will learn
- Read the number words from zero to ten
- Match a numeral to its word
- Know that a number can be written two ways
- Learn a few words by sight
Common Core standard: RF.K.3.C
Worked example
The numeral 3 is on the left. Read the words on the right: one, five, three. Three is the word for 3, so draw a line from 3 to three.
Common mistake
Matching by the first letter only, so six and seven or two and three are mixed up.
Helpful hint
Count on your fingers to the numeral, then read the words.
