A note for parents

Comparing length is the first kind of measuring. Use words like longer, shorter, longest and shortest.

How to help

Compare real objects like pencils and spoons.
Line the items up at one end to compare.
Use "longer" and "shorter" at home.

Choose "Actual size" or "100%" when printing. A4 is 210 x 297 mm; US Letter is 8.5 x 11 in. The black-and-white version uses less ink.
