How does this book help your child?

Short cards suit short sessions and quick games:

• Gradual writing: arrows, then dots, then writing alone.
• Numeral and quantity together: counting pictures links each numeral to “how many”.
• It takes time: children can need months to master one-to-one correspondence, so there is no rush.

Ages are approximate and every child has their own pace.
