it �s the first time I have ever heard about the idea of teaching numbers through reading texts. there are a loads of things you should teach in a reading text. how could you deal with that? this is as if throwing children into the ocean for a small drop of water.

Using a story to teach numbers might be a different way than using a vocabulary sheet and have students learn the words by heart. Games are a good way to practice them also.
If you go on a website such as www.amazon.com you might find books that could help you. You might have to really look around because most books about numbers are not necessarily targeted for the age group you are looking for. |

Ordinal numbers:
easy texts about a trip - first day, second day...
description of a block of flats (+ present / past continuous / simple)
- what was the lady on the twentieth floor doing when the fire began...

Hi
I do lots of TPR activities with my children - for example We play Bingo Games with numbers - students write down 6 numbers out of 10 ( for Numbers from 1-10) and 12 numbers for numbers from 1-20. Then I call a number in random and if they have this number they circle it . When they have circled all their numbers they call BiINGO and win the game. Another activities are chants about numbers and they show the numbers with fingers while saying the chant, you may play a Guessing game - how many.......have I got behind my back@, then the children alone can ask, WSs with numbers and colours ......I have no time now because I must leave for work but if you are iterested PM me or email me
Have a nice day
