What children learn in Level 17
- When we talk, we put words together to make sentences. Listen: I like apples. That's 3 words: I, like, apples.
- Each word means something. Apples are the fruit we eat. Like tells how we feel about them.
- Words are made of sounds put together. The sounds in sun make the word sun.
- Try it with a grown-up! Say a sentence, and stomp once for every word.
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
- K.F.PA.2.b — Segment phrases and sentences into words.
- K.F.PA.2.c — Know that sounds are put together to make words and that words have distinct meanings.
