The image of numbers and the positions of the dots are memorized.  In this context, the current study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of touch math method in teaching numbers 1 to 10 in children having difficulty in numbers. Six children having difficulty in numbers, in the age group 4 to 5 years, and having been inducted into formal early childhood special education for more than a term of 6 months were selected for the study.  The children had been formally introduced to numbers one to ten in class, following which the group was randomly assigned to two experimental groups of three children each. The findings of the investigation reiterate the unquestionable facts that touch math method is the  most appropriate way for instruction of young children, especially those with difficulty with numbers.  aTouch Math Method, Numeracy Skill, Preschool  aOm Prakash   aInternational Education and Research Journal  uhttp://ierj.in/journal/index.php/ierj/article/view/1343/1288  cFJASyFJAS  c17830d17830
