Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Children often mix up the ordinal symbols 1st and 2nd because the small letters after the number look similar and confusing on the page.
• Some Kindergarten kids forget that fifth uses an f sound instead of v sound and write fivth instead of the correct word fifth.
• Many young learners count starting at zero or skip first when listing positions, which makes them put the wrong kid in second or third place.
