Why do preschoolers need to learn about spaces between words?

Spaces show where one word ends and the next begins. Seeing that I see a cat is four separate words helps a child match spoken words to printed words. That idea, called concept of word, comes before reading sentences on their own.

What if my child cannot read the sentences yet?

That is expected at ages 3 to 5. An adult reads each sentence aloud, and the child only needs to spot the spaces or find one short word that is shown at the top of the page. Pointing to each word as you read makes the task easier.

Can I use these words in a sentence worksheets for homeschool?

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
