Teaching Counting 1 to 3
What it is
Counting one, two, three means touching each object once, saying one number word for each, and knowing the last word tells how many. Three ducks touched in turn, one, two, three, and the answer is three.
When a child is ready
Ready when the words one, two, three come out in order and the child will point at objects while an adult counts them.
If they struggle
If the number words run ahead of the finger, hold the child's hand and move it from object to object as you count together. Lay the three counters in a straight row rather than a pile so nothing is touched twice or skipped.
