Eight pages on the concepts of print, how written words work, read aloud with a grown-up. Children point to each word of a sentence and color a box for each, circle the sentence written with spaces between its words, number the words of two sentences in the order they read them, circle a sentence's first word and underline its last, and cut out cards to sort into letters, words and sentences. Every sentence uses only sight words and short words a kindergartner can sound out.
Model pointing under each word as you read a big book, and have children point with you: one word said, one word touched. A sentence with no spaces, read aloud as one long word, makes them laugh and shows why the spaces matter.
When you read together, ask your child to show you where to start, which way to go, and where to go at the end of a line. Count the words in the title of a book together.
Concepts of print worksheets on how sentences work on a page: words are made of letters, spaces come between words, and we read left to right and top to bottom. Children count the words in sentences, find the sentence with spaces, number words in reading order, find the first and last word, and sort letters, words and sentences.
