Read Liquid Volume (Liters): how to help at home or in class

Stick a vertical strip of masking tape on a tall clear jar, mark equal lines, and label some of them. Pour water in and have your child say how much it holds. Try a strip with labels only at every second mark so they have to count up. When your child works out the scale before reading, move on to scales with a needle.
