Kindergarten Copywork: Finger-Space Check
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: copying with one visible space between words
1
Read: We can hop. Count its three words.
2
Copy We can hop. Leave a finger space after We.
3
Trace your finger under each copied word.
4
Fix this run-together copy: Wecanhop.
5
Copy: My cat naps. Check each space.
6
Write a four-word sentence and ask an adult to count its spaces.
- Model placing one finger down after a complete word, never between letters.
- Keep the sentence short enough that spacing—not endurance—is the challenge.
- Have the child reread while tapping each separated word.
