About this worksheet
Four short phrases — A CAT, MY DOG, I CAN, MY BUS — each traced once and then written again. The letters are all ones your child has met; the new thing on this page is the gap in the middle.
Word spacing is a genuinely separate skill from letter formation, and it is usually the last thing to arrive. A child who forms every letter well will still run words together into a single block, because nothing about writing letters teaches you that words are separate objects. It has to be pointed out.
The classic trick is a finger: press one finger onto the paper after a word, start the next word on the far side of it, then lift. It feels clumsy for a week and then becomes automatic.
How to use this sheet
Teach the finger space explicitly — press a finger down after the first word and start the next one beyond it. Children almost never work this out from the model alone.
