Sheet 28 is shown from top border to the teacher-signature line.

The entire Letter page pairs TWENTY-EIGHT and 28 with guided writing and an ordered strip from 21 to 30.

Nadia sets out four paper domino racks, each with seven pieces. Two pieces look like one when their edges touch. To make an inventory label, her partner has to decide where each separate domino ends. The dominoes display gives a reason to use Number 28 Tracing. Match 28 and TWENTY-EIGHT in the outline panel, then choose a few dotted marks to trace. The ten-cell strip places the amount within its local run of numbers. The page keeps the dominoes count in view when the objects are put away.

20Grouped in tens

8Loose ones

A domino count by rows and by units

Let Nadia turn the bottom seven pieces ninety degrees while keeping the other rows in place. Assign one partner to touch each piece and the other to say the next number. When the totals agree, invite the child to say the whole count without repeating every number again. Use the 28 sign to label the racks. Later, take away two paper pieces and ask the learner to step back twice on the strip. The gap between 28 and 26 describes the removed pieces. The small central crossing of 8 can be examined separately from the game count.

What does the 28 label count?

Four equal rows give an amount of twenty-eight even if gaps vary. Slide each domino once as it is counted. Then move ten and ten to separate mats and keep the other eight where the child can see them. This makes the digits easier to explain.

Ask for two dominoes reports. The groups contain 20, and the loose count is 8. Once the totals are combined, look at 28 and say which position records the 2 full groups.

Try hearing about the 8 loose units first. Keep the tens on the left of 28. The order of the dominoes reports can change without moving either digit.

Read the large 28 before using a pencil

Set the dominoes sign by the large 28. Point between its smaller digits and the big outlines. Say twenty-eight while moving a finger from the first numeral to the last.

See which digit of 28 the child notices first. If attention goes straight to the 8, try a bookmark at the left of 28. Let a partner explain the dominoes amount before taking a pencil turn.

Outlined 28 beside TWENTY-EIGHT in the worksheet's two reference boxes — The upper 28 panel gives the dominoes count two written forms.Look across from the large 28 to TWENTY-EIGHT before speaking the amount for the lesson.

Try the dominoes count at home

Put 28 rectangular scraps on the table, touching in a few places. Ask the child to make four separate rows of seven and then give them a label that records the entire set.

Keep the dominoes materials in view. Slide the 8 extras to a counted area as the learner counts up from 20. A child who wants more evidence can open one of the ten groups before rechecking 28.

Choose one 28 model to follow. Put the new mark by the dominoes count and have another person read it. Invite the learner to explain the 28 label before giving a spelling cue.

Locate 28 on the 21–30 strip

Count 8 places from the left to find 28. Check by reading up from 21. A learner can use 21 as the first spoken value instead of restarting at one.

Point to 27 on the left of 28. Find 29 to the right of 28. Match one step from 28 with an addition or removal in the dominoes count. When the dominoes arrangement changes but the count stays 28, leave the pointer in place.

Hide the shaded 28. Ask the reader to name an uncovered neighbor and predict the hidden numeral. Check it against 28, then let the learner choose a nearby box for a partner to guess.

Sequence 21–30 with 28 highlighted in cell 8 — Check the label for the dominoes count in the shaded box marked 28.The 28 cell lies 7 moves from 21 and 2 moves from 30.

Adjust the next attempt at 28

28 response	Prompt	Check Twenty-Eight
Only the 8 extra units get counted.	Put the 20 portion beside them.	Read the whole label 28 from the joint display.
The two 28 digits crowd or touch.	Compare the gap in the large 28.	Follow one 28 pair and lift between shapes.
The reader skips part of TWENTY-EIGHT.	Point through TWENTY-EIGHT at speech pace.	Match TWENTY-EIGHT with its separate numeral.
The 28 box is guessed from shading.	Name an adjacent printed value.	Find 28 again with the color covered.

Check the dominoes count before correcting the pencil. If the child says 28 correctly, ask which shape needs a slower try.

Number 28 Tracing with a clear hand movement

For 28, leave a little room around the crossing between the loops of 8. Rehearse that transition on a scrap, then choose from five 28 models on a dotted line. Rest the spare hand on the page during the lift between 2 and 8.

Pick one feature to watch in the 28 attempt. Compare the digit heights, or see where the strokes of 28 meet the lower guide. If one 28 turn needs work, practise it at a larger size before shrinking it.

Four lines of 28 allow several short visits. Save the lower 28 rows for the next dominoes session instead of making the first try last through all twenty models.

The first of four dotted number lines showing five copies of 28 — Start with a brief pencil turn on the upper line of the 28 sheet.Compare the curve and corner placements within each small 28 against their printed guides.

Ask pairs to compare two arrangements without mixing pieces between them. They can keep four rows or show two tens and eight singles, then justify a matching 28 card.

At the dominoes station, ask for the difference between 20 and 28. A learner can show the 8 extra units with counters. For a zero, point to the empty space while reading 28.

Let a speaker read the finished dominoes sign while a partner traces 28. Swap jobs and ask Can the group count 28 correctly if one row is turned vertically? Listen for an explanation of the 28 count before commenting on the written result.

Let TWENTY-EIGHT do a reading job

Say twenty-eight while a learner tracks the capitals. On a second reading, read EIGHT as a whole ending and locate the G before the H. Use the big TWENTY-EIGHT reference to check a faint letter in its dotted row.

Make separate dominoes labels for 28 and TWENTY-EIGHT. Ask someone to match both to the count. On the two word rows for 28, a new reader can follow a part of TWENTY-EIGHT today and return to the rest another day.

Dotted capital models of TWENTY-EIGHT in the word practice area — Switch to TWENTY-EIGHT when the lesson moves from digit formation to print reading.During the dominoes read, read EIGHT as a whole ending and locate the G before the H.

Five short activities after the dominoes lesson

Save the 28 record. Draw the dominoes groups on a card. Move an extra piece and decide whether 28 still applies.
Guess the hidden 28 box. Read 28 and its neighbors, then cover 28. Ask a partner for the missing value.
Make a new dominoes order. Add one piece to 28. Write 29 together and point to the changed digit or digits.
Split the 28 writing job. Have a child dictate TWENTY-EIGHT while an adult writes it. Trace 28 for a second label on the dominoes display.
Check 28 in a different arrangement. Return the dominoes pieces to a row. Ask a visitor to verify 28 without the first layout.

Six things to listen and look for around 28

Explain the dominoes display: Group 28 by tens and ones. Point to the 20 part before describing the extras.
Manage a turn in 28: Keep one dotted 28 model visible while changing direction. Pause between 2 and 8.
Tell TWENTY-EIGHT from a partial clue: Read TWENTY-EIGHT aloud with the numeral in view. Check the letters at its right end.
Place 28 in a run: Use 28 to infer a neighbor. Show whether the dominoes total rose or fell.
Recognize 28 in a new layout: Rearrange the dominoes pieces. Does 28 still belong on the label?
Review one 28 attempt: Match the finished 28 against its outline. Save a movement for another visit.

Choose a small goal for the next 28 visit

The 28 printable suits children around ages 5–8 who are ready to compare two-digit numbers. Younger children who already recognize 28 can point, speak and move counters while someone else handles the pencil. A confident writer may copy the dominoes label once on a blank slip.

Use one goal during a short return visit. If a child can describe 28 as 2 tens and 8 ones, the next aim might be the shape of the right digit. If both shapes are familiar, put a little more attention on TWENTY-EIGHT or the place where the target sits on the strip.

Ask which 28 mark the writer would like to save. Keep the child in charge of the final selection and name a feature they can see, such as a clearer gap or a closed loop. It makes a later return to the dominoes lesson feel connected to something they already accomplished.

Other ways to prepare for the 28 lesson

For a shorter writing turn than 28, start with the pencil-control path worksheet. To isolate the shape of 8 before the dominoes activity, try the introductory 1–10 tracing set or a mixed set of single-digit models as a different warm-up.

Look through family play at NAEYC for a way to adapt the dominoes role-play. A family can also choose an idea from PBS KIDS for Parents and give the written TWENTY-EIGHT sign a job in that game.
