Selected Numbers to Twenty Card Worksheet

Six-year-olds can know a number one day and hesitate over it the next, especially with teen numbers. Sit together and read the number cards aloud: 15, 11, 12, 4, 18, 5, 8, 7, 14, and 20. Keep it simple. Point to one card, say the number, and let your child try the next one.

This page fits a first grader who can count some numbers aloud but still needs practice reading printed numerals in a mixed set. The single-digit cards, 4, 5, 7, and 8, give quick wins. The teen cards and 20 add a little stretch without turning the page into a full 1 to 20 chart.

The practice is about numeral recognition and number words. Your child sees 14 and says fourteen, sees 18 and says eighteen, and starts to notice that 11 and 12 have their own names. For more practice looking closely at printed numbers, use the Numbers 5, 6, 7, 14, and 16 Matching Worksheet next, since matching gives another way to recognize numerals without adding counting objects yet.

If a card gets guessed, pause on that one card and read it together. You can say, “This is fifteen,” then come back to 15 after two or three easier cards. When the number names feel more familiar, move to Count and Draw Circles Worksheet, which helps connect a written number to a counted amount by drawing circles.
