Counting

Reciter

Sub Trajectory: verbal

Verbally counts with distinct words, not necessarily in the correct order above "five". Puts objects, actions, and words in many-to-one or overly rigid one-to-one correspondence. May start reciting before 24 months.

Help your student become a(n) Reciter

These activities provide experience with verbal counting, helping children learn the sequence and distinguish each word from the one before and after by including slower-paced rhymes and songs and other rhythmic and playful games.
