About this sheet

Twenty-one onwards is the first stretch where the names and the digits agree. Twenty-one is said in the order it is written, and so is every number after it, which makes this range the easy half of two-digit writing even though the numbers are bigger — the hard part was 11 to 20. What this sheet is really practicing is consistency: the same digit made the same way in the tens place and the ones place, thirty times.

Why it is drawn this way

It is also where the decade digit changes under a child's hand for the first time. Going from 29 to 30 means the left-hand digit moves while the right-hand one returns to zero, and a child who writes a column of these in order sees that happen three times on one sheet. The rows are in order for that reason, and it is worth stopping at each turn rather than treating it as thirty unrelated numbers.
