However, they find it very hard to get there. While the names themselves are hard to remember for little kids, what confuses them the most is remembering all months in order.

Learning the months of the year does not come alone. Children also need to be able to tell how many months there are in a year and the number of each month.

Moreover, the number of days in each month and a year can feel impossible to keep in mind.

All Months in Order: Learning Tips - ArgoPrep (2)

Typically, a month is a collection of approximately 30 days’ time. The concept of months was invented by the period of time the moon takes to orbit around the earth.

The whole year comprises 12 months, making a total of 365 days in a year. A year can be divided into two halves: the first six months and the second six months of the year.

The first half begins in January and ends in the month of June. July marks the beginning of the second half of the year, while December is the month that ends it.

Here’s a quick look at each month in brief detail. This will make it easy for you to remember.
