Words and Spaces
See that words are made of letters with spaces between them, and count words.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 5
- Words are made of letters. The word dog has 3 letters: d, o, g.
- Spaces go between words, so we can tell where one word stops and the next one starts.
- Let's count the words: I, see, a, dog. 4 words!
- Without spaces, it's hard to read! The words all run together.
- Try it with a grown-up! Say a sentence, and jump once for every word.
