Abstract
I DISCOVERED THE EFFECTIVENESS of using little poems and rhymes to help children acquire number meanings when Bobby was six years old. Bobby was the first of 1B's to have a birthday after school opened in September. It was a big event. A birthday! A thrill for every child in the room, for each had at least five birthdays behind him. And each child had either recently become six or was about to do so.
