How this workbook runs
This is not a book to read. It is a book to work through, five minutes at a time, for thirty days.
Each number page is followed by a drill page. Do the drill out loud. Silent practice builds recognition, not speech.
Five minutes a day beats an hour once a week. Always.

One to five
These five carry most of your everyday counting. Learn them until they are automatic.
