Dot the Words and Count the Spaces

Read each sentence aloud and point to every word as you say it. Have your child put a finger in each space, then compare a sentence like Icanrun with I can run so the difference is easy to see.

Dot each word, count the spaces, then circle 2 spaces or 3 spaces for I see you and The cup is red. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Put a dot in each circle under the words. Count the spaces. Circle the picture with that many spaces. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool sight words, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with words in a sentence. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, match, color, or cut and paste, and a grown-up can read the instructions aloud. Pages that do ask for letters, like letter tracing, start with tracing over dashed guides.
