Number Name Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers

This worksheet connects three related number skills at once: unscrambling a jumbled word to spell a number name correctly, writing that number name out, and then matching it to its numeral — a layered task that builds both early spelling and number recognition together. Because number-name spelling (like 'seven' or 'eight') doesn't always follow simple sound-out rules, this worksheet gives 4-6 year olds valuable repeated exposure to sight-word-style number vocabulary.

How to use this worksheet

Look at the first scrambled word together and read the jumbled letters aloud slowly. Help your child figure out which number name the letters spell by trying different letter orders if needed. Once they've worked it out, have them write the correctly spelled number name in the space provided. Then have them draw a line matching that number name to its correct numeral, and repeat the process for each remaining word.
