11. Include Elementary Numeracy Early in Your Teaching Plan:

The word "numeracy" is not often found in dictionaries. It means to have the elementary skills needed to recognise numbers, to write them, and to use them for counting and measuring.

Many individuals who have not learned to read and write prose, have somehow learned basic numeracy, and use it to handle money. This is good, and should be used as a foundation for learning how to read and write. Others have not. Your syllabus should include numeracy. Include numbers in your literacy programme. Do not teach arithmetic; teach recognition of numbers, and how to write them.
