Recognition of numbers alone is very abstract for very young kids. The number symbol must be associated with the actual concept. That is, don't just teach her that "5" is five. Every time you show her the symbol "5", get her to count five things. Another good idea: write a big, fat 5 and glue five bottons along the number.

Also, cut out the numbers in different textures (velvet, sandpaper, etc.) and have her trace the numbers while saying it out loud. The extra sensory input will help her remember it better. Or have her write the numbers very very big with her whole arm (in the air, or on a large sheet of paper), gross motor movements are easier than fine motor movements for young kids.

That said, if your child is already in elementary school and still can't write or remember numbers, you need to ask for a special education referral and have the specialists give her some tests. This doesn't mean they'll put him/her into special ed, but some information will come out of the screening.

Answer 3

You don't say how old she is. I don't think you need a web-site, read to her a lot, there are books with numbers in them, and write numbers with her a lot, the more it is repeated, the more she will learn it. If she's older and is having problems, have her checked for Dyslexia or something else that might be affecting her ability to see numbers correctly.

Answer 4

You dont say how old she is.

This could be dyslexia, does she swap parts of words over and have trouble reading and spelling.

If so, using an (orange) coloured filter over the page might help.
