Number Words 1-5 Worksheet

Starting with one to five

Numbers one to five are a good place to start. Most children already count this far before school. Say each number out loud and point to its word, such as three. Ask your child to match, write or circle it. Keeping the range small lets your child learn each word without feeling rushed.

Choosing matching, writing or circling

Matching is the simplest activity, asking your child to draw a line from a number to its word. Writing asks more, since your child copies the word using a word box. Circling asks your child to count a group of pictures first. Then they pick the right word from three choices, which mixes counting with reading.

Moving on to larger numbers

Once one to five feels easy, return to the maker and move the range up to ten. Later, you can move up to twenty. Keep a finished page from one to five nearby, so your child can check a word they forget. Returning to small numbers now and then keeps the words fresh.
