🔤 Words, Spaces, and Sentences

What you’ll learn

1. Letters Have NamesKnow that the alphabet has 26 letters, each with its own name.Writing is built from letters, and there are 26 of them in the alphabet. Each letter has a name, and letters begin the words we read and write, like A for apple and C for cat.
2. Big Letters and Little LettersRecognize that letters have uppercase and lowercase forms.Every letter comes in two sizes: uppercase (big) and lowercase (little). Big A and little a are the same letter. Matching capitals to their lowercase partners builds letter knowledge.
3. Spaces Keep Words ApartUnderstand that spaces separate words in writing.Letters join to make words, and a space is the gap we leave between words. Spaces tell our eyes where one word ends and the next begins, which is what makes writing easy to read.
4. Marks That Help Us ReadName common punctuation marks and their jobs.Punctuation marks are helpers, not letters. A period ends a telling sentence, a question mark shows a question, an exclamation mark shows excitement, and a comma is a short pause.
5. Asking With Who, What, and WhereUse the question words who, what, and where.Question words help us ask about the world. 'Who' asks about a person, 'what' about a thing, and 'where' about a place — the first tools for asking good questions.
