Teaching tips and what to try next

Kindergartners usually learn number words after they can count to 10 and write the numerals, so this fits well in the second half of the year. Spelling the words is not the goal yet; copying them from the word bank is fine as long as your child matches the right word to the right amount. Before this, practice writing numerals in Count and Trace Numbers 1-10; afterwards, try Count to 20 With Ten-Frames.

10 versions, each with its own answer key

Same skill and layout, a fresh set of problems in every version, so children can keep practicing without repeating a page. Problems are not repeated between versions unless a skill has only a small number of possible problems (for example, the addition facts within 10).

About this worksheet

Children see numbers written two ways: as numerals, like 7, and as words, like seven. Storybooks, recipes, and signs use both, so kindergartners learn to connect each number word with its numeral and with the amount it stands for. This kindergarten worksheet practices the number words from zero to ten.

The number words are printed at the top of the page as a word bank, so children always have a model to copy. In Part A, children read six number words, such as "eight" and "zero," and write the matching numeral in a box. In Part B, they count six groups of dots, arranged in rows of five like a ten-frame, and write the number word for each group on handwriting lines. The ten versions use different words and dot groups, and each version comes with its own answer key.

How to use it: read the word bank together first, pointing to each word as you say it. Many children know "one," "two," and "ten" by sight but mix up "six" and "seven" or "three" and "two," because they start with the same letter. Have your child say the first sound, then check the rest of the word against the bank. For Part B, count the dots out loud and touch each one only once. A fun follow-up is to hunt for number words in a picture book or on a cereal box.

The answer key shows every numeral and number word. For more counting practice, try our Count and Trace Numbers 1-10 worksheet and our Count to 20 With Ten-Frames worksheet.
