From the Back Cover

Learning to write is exciting and rewarding. The ability to recognize and write numbers is as important as the ability to read. This book will help your child develop the necessary skills for number writing. Children are introduced to numbers through familiar food shapes (candy stick, carrot, corn, donut) which help them learn to count, recognize, and write numbers legibly. Our innovative approach corresponds with methods currently used in schools. The sturdy plastic write-on, wipe-off pages allow the youngster to practice each number as often as possible, without using up the pages. It's OK to make mistakes!

From the Inside Flap

Each page is structured for you to read instructions and assist your child. Keep time limits between 5-15 minutes. It is important to maintain a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Encourage child to review page and discuss illustrations as they relate to his or her own experience.

Mistakes are part of the learning process.

Help children find their mistakes by referring to the basic strokes. Praise and reward children for their discoveries, achievements and cooperation. Frustration levels vary greatly, as do attention spans. If the child becomes irritable, allow a time out or continue the lesson another day.
