WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE HANDWRITING SPACES BETWEEN WORDS PACKET?
16 different sentences are included, as well as several different activities.
Start by writing a few short sentences on the board, or in your morning message, with both spaces in the wrong places and no spaces at all. Ask your students to read the sentences. Talk about why they are hard to read. Have them help you edit your work. Students can also make up their own sentences. First with incorrect spacing then they can edit their own work.
