Spacing between words

Learning intention:

To focus on the spacing between words

Looking at these sound waves, you can see spaces. There is also a space bar on the keyboard. We need spaces in sound, in our typing and in our writing to make sense of things. Tip!

I am successful when I can: check my 3Ps make spaces even write letters of the same size.

Rewrite this passage, using even spaces between the words.

When words are too cose together or too far apart, it makes the writing difficult to read. The spaces between words need to be even, and letters must be of the same size.

Self-assessment

Assess how you are going with the spacing between letters and words.

I need some mo re practice
I’m making progress I’ve got it!
