Description
Count with Me is a joyful, accessible introduction to early numeracy designed with visual access in mind. Created by educator Amy Shepherd, M.Ed., this inclusive book is perfect for learners who benefit from a clear, structured approach to counting and concept-building.
Each number is introduced through a three-part experience:
- A bold numeral to anchor visual focus
- A rhyming clue to engage language and memory
- A simple, high-contrast image to spark connection and recognition
With visual descriptions woven into the narrative, this book helps children make meaningful links between what they see, hear, or feel-building confidence and curiosity along the way.
Ideal for:
- Children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) or other visual processing needs
- Early learners exploring numbers, language, and visual concepts
- Parents, therapists, and educators seeking a multi-sensory and inclusive approach to learning
Created for real learners. Built with love.
