CHINESE NUMBERS DISPLAY
Chinese number display poster and large cards. Intended mainly as a means to enrich the communication and language environment. It is not our intent that children should learn these symbols, but start to recognise that text has meaning and begin to understand that there are a variety of forms of writing in our world. We have added our take on the phonetic pronunciation of the numbers for those of you who may also like to try saying the numbers aloud as a demonstration for the children. Please note that on this resource we have not included Pinyin. You may also be interested in the resources in our ‘Dual Language’ section.
