We’re working on phone numbers!
I started with a number song, which I’ve seen others do. But then I noticed a gap between singing a number and actually knowing how to use it. So we expanded.
We went over finding the numbers on the keypad, getting the order right, noticing there are no two-digit numbers, using the song to remember the sequence, how to delete a mistake, and actually dialing. (I use my husband’s phone for that part.)
We’re a bilingual home so we practice in both languages with a little more emphasis on English. If you’re neighborhood has different languages, it might be worth exploring this idea.
My youngest is almost 3 and still seems a bit young for the keypad part but she’s exposed to it and loves the song. It’s a process. No one is getting tested or expecting overnight success. We’ll keep practicing until it sticks, and even then we’ll keep practicing.
The goal is confidence and a real skill.
