Frequently asked questions
What is the order of the days of the week?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On US calendars Sunday comes first; Saturday and Sunday are the weekend.
How do I help a child who mixes up before and after?
Use the days strip on the worksheet and point: 'before' means the box to the left, 'after' means the box to the right. After Saturday the week starts again with Sunday.
What age can learn the days of the week?
Many 4-year-olds can say the days in order after a few weeks of practice; using them with yesterday and tomorrow usually comes in kindergarten.
