Read Number Words and Write Their Numerals

This number word writing worksheet covers six, two, five, three, and eight. Each row presents a number word and an empty answer box. Read the word and write the corresponding numeral, connecting written language with number notation. The page also includes a dot-drawing activity based on a number word.

Begin with six, which represents 6. Read the word together if necessary, then ask the child to name the number and write its numeral in the box. Sounding out a word may help where appropriate, while an adult can explain spellings that are not yet familiar.

In the follow-up, read the word for 8 and draw that many dots. Count the drawn group to check its quantity. A separate numeral model can support handwriting without replacing the child’s decision about which number the word names. Work through a few words at a time and return to a familiar one when introducing a new spelling.

Continue with related activities in the Early Math Essentials. The number reference library offers another look at the numerals and quantities used in early math. Choose a few questions that the child can discuss comfortably, then return to the page during another short practice session. A useful next step is asking the child to explain one answer using a different drawing or a small group of counters.
