See that letters make words, with spaces between the words.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child sees that letters go together to make words, and that spaces come between words. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 4

This is a letter: C. Letters are in the ABCs.
Letters go together to make words. C, A, T makes the word cat!
A space goes between two words, so we can tell them apart. Red, space, ball. Two words!
Without spaces, the words all run together. That's hard to read!
Try it with a grown-up! Find a word on a box or a sign. Count its letters together.
