Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Numerals are the symbols 0 through 20. We read the symbol aloud and write the symbol when we hear the number name. Keep digits clear and in the right order for teens.
Spend about 15 minutes reading shown numerals and writing dictated numerals to 20.
