We started to teach our daughter numbers and run into

a problem. She can not discriminate between 3 and 13,

4 and 14, 5 and 15.....I tried to color the two digit

numbers differently, added dots in the corner hopping

that she will notice that 4 has less dots then 14. SO

far nothing worked. Does anybody have any suggestions?

You might try pairing sign with tact to teach the numbers--this helped my

daughter--and sometimes we'd alter the sign a little to make sure looked

different from each other--so when presenting 3 you would sign 3 and say 3 for

your

prompt--and so on with other numbers.

Hope this helps.

Are you asking her to say (tact) them or to receptively identify them?
