Hello, friends! Today, we are going to learn something fun and important about writing. We will discover why we put spaces between words when we write sentences.
Let’s look at this sentence: “The sun is hot.” Do you see the little gaps between each word? Those are called spaces! They help us see that there are four words in the sentence. Let’s count them together: one, two, three, four.
Spaces are like little breaks that help us know where one word ends and another word begins. If we don’t use spaces, it would be very hard to read. Let’s see what happens when we don’t use spaces.
Look at this sentence: “Thedogran.” It’s all squished together, and it’s hard to read, right? Now, let’s put spaces between the words: “The dog ran.” Much better! Now we can see there are three words. Let’s count them: one, two, three.
Let’s try another sentence: “I see the cat.” How many words are there? Yes, there are four words! The spaces help us see them clearly. Let’s count: one, two, three, four. Great job!
Now you can practice finding spaces between words when you read or write. Remember, spaces are your friends in writing!
Keep practicing, and you’ll become a reading and writing superstar!
Space Detective: Become a space detective! Grab a favorite storybook and look for sentences with spaces between the words. Can you find a sentence with three words? How about one with five words? Count the words and point out the spaces to a friend or family member. This will help you see how spaces make reading easier!
Word Puzzle Fun: Create a word puzzle using letter blocks or cut-out letters. Mix up the letters to form a sentence without spaces, like “Ilovemycat.” Now, try to separate the letters and add spaces to make it readable: “I love my cat.” Share your puzzle with a friend and see if they can solve it too!
Space Walk: Go on a “space walk” around your classroom or home. Look for objects or signs with words on them. Can you spot the spaces between the words? Try to read the words aloud and count how many there are. This activity will help you notice how spaces are used in everyday life!

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hi everyone! In this lesson, you will learn why we put spaces between words when we write.
Look at this sentence: “The sun is hot.” Do you see that there is a space between each word? We can see that there are four words in the sentence. Let’s count together: one, two, three, four.
Whenever you write, you must put a space between every word. If you don’t put spaces between your words, people can’t tell where one word ends and another starts. That would make it very hard to read. Much better now!
What is wrong with this sentence? There are no spaces between the words in this sentence. Can you see how this makes it very hard to read? It is much easier to read when we put spaces between the words.
For example, “The dog ran.” There are three words in this sentence. Let’s count together: one, two, three.
Let’s take a look at another sentence: “I see the cat.” How many words are in this sentence? There are spaces between each word. This helps us see that there are four words in the sentence. Let’s count together: one, two, three, four. Well done!
Now you can practice finding spaces between written words.
