One to Ten and Back Again
(one more; one less)
- Read the story with your child
- Count the objects on each page together
- Can your child say which number comes next before you turn each page? Which number comes next when we count?
- Together, count to check how many there are.
- Stress the phrase “one more” to your child when counting forward
- Stress the phrase “one less” to your child when counting backward
- Beyond One to Ten and Back Again:
Play a ‘one more; one less’ game:
- Say the numbers on the cards 1 – 10 with your child
- Place them face down, each time you turn over a card, say the number you see, then say the number that is 1 more; then say the number that is 1 less
Sing some number rhymes together with a counting focus:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Once I Caught a Fish Alive
- 1, 2 Buckle My Shoe
- One Man Went to Mow
