Winter Counting Books

Learning to count is a critical skill for preschoolers and kindergarteners to practice. There are many ways hands-on ways to teach little ones to count. In order for children to have a solid number sense, it’s important for them to have many opportunities to practice counting. Today I’m sharing an activity that will help little ones practice counting along with a free printable. These winter counting booklets include practice with numbers 1-20.

The first thing to teach young children is to count to five. Having that foundation of learning 0-5 first is key. Then moving on to 0-10. Once they have a good understanding of those numbers, I recommend teaching numbers 11-20.

Teaching Strategies GOLD states that preschoolers need to know how to count 1-20. The Common Core states that kindergarteners need to know how to write numbers from 0 to 20 and represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20. If you have a student or child having a difficult time with counting, I recommend doing many multi-sensory activities with them. Remember that each child is different and it may take many exposures to numbers for it to click.

I’m sharing a winter counting book that will give your students practice with counting and writing numbers. Each number has its own small booklet. Here’s an example of what it looks like.
