Questions parents ask
- Do these need to be done in order?
- No. Every child is different, so pick whatever your student needs next. Jumping around is completely fine, and a student may be ahead in some skills and still building others.
- What are finger spaces?
- The gap between words. Kids put a finger down after each word so the next one doesn't run into it.
- Are the worksheets really free?
- Yes. Print any sheet or download it as a PDF, with no sign-up.
