We all learn colours, numbers and the alphabet at primary school. People often call this at school the three R’s – reading, writing and arithmetic! These help us to do many things like explain what we see, what we want to do, to communicate with our family and friends – to enjoy ourselves!
Numbers are fun! Eenie would like to tell you a few things about numbers here so that you can learn with your family and friends.
Once we know – and can remember – the numbers one to ten we can then begin to move up to 100 and beyond that – and we can learn to count. It is good fun to learn and practise numbers.The numbers from 1 to 100 in English are:
1 – one
2 – two
3 – three
4 – four
5 – five
6 – six
7 – seven
8 – eight
9 – nine
10 – ten
11 – eleven
12 – twelve
13 – thirteen
14 – fourteen
15 – fifteen
16 – sixteen
17 – seventeen
18 – eighteen
19 – nineteen
20 – twenty
21 – twenty-one
22 – twenty-two
23 – twenty-three
24 – twenty-four
25 – twenty-five
26 – twenty-six
27 – twenty-seven
28 – twenty-eight
29 – twenty-nine
30 – thirty
31 – thirty-one
40 – forty
41 – forty-one
50 – fifty
51 – fifty-one
60 – sixty
61 – sixty-one
70 – seventy
71 – seventy-one
80 – eighty
81 – eighty-one
90 – ninety
91 – ninety-one
100 can be said as one hundred or a hundred.
We also like to remember letters so that then we can make words. The English Alphabet consists of 26 letters:. The letters are:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.
Once we learn the alphabet we also talk about vowels and consonants. Vowels are A, E, I, O, U – all the other letters are consonants. We can make lovely words when we join together the vowels and consonants – then we can recognize these, make sentences and express ourselves. We can also make songs and poems, Eenie’s rhymes and the Eenie World helps us to have such fun with words – we can enjoy and sing along – and we will learn more as we play in the world of Eenie and his friends.
