• 4—Rye
• 5—Law
• 6—Shoe
• 7—Cow

• 0 = Z or S. Remember ‘zero’ starts with a z/s sound
• 1 = T or D. When we write t and d, they both have just one vertical stroke
• 2 = N. N has two vertical strokes
• 3 = M. M has three vertical strokes
• 4 = R. The word ‘four’ ends in R
• 5 = L. The Roman numeral for 50 is L. Simply drop the zero to give 5
• 6 = Ch, Sh or J. The number 6 looks kind of a back to front J
• 7 = K, hard C or hard G. I just remember this one because seven seems like a very sharp, harsh number to me as do these consonants
• 8 = F. A cursive ‘f’ has two loops, just like the number eight
• 9 = P or B sounds. 9 looks like a back to front P
