Spaces Between Words
Separate words with spaces in writing; understand that spaces mark word boundaries in print
What a learner can do afterwards
- Leave clear finger-spaces between words when writing
- Count the number of words in a written sentence by identifying spaces
- Correct writing that has missing spaces between words
The lesson
Words need a little space to breathe on the page. A space tells the reader where one word stops. Then a new word starts.
Leo writes 'I see a star'. He leaves a space after each word. Now his sentence is easy to read.
Use one finger to make a space after each word. This keeps your writing neat and easy to read.
A space keeps each word separate so readers can tell them apart.
