what does it mean?

[Guest Anje]

Hi, still having problems with exactly what the objective 'begins to break the flow of speech into words' means. Can anyone help please???

Thanks x

[Guest tinkerbell]

do you think it means they sound out each word as they read along with you or mark make ....eg I am going to buy some sweets ?

it means saying the words aloud as they write, which they will have seen us modelling. it may be that they write letters/letter-like shapes/wiggles etc or use sounds appropriately x

does it mean that each squiggle represents a word ..and they say each word as they squiggle ?

Oral speech is continuous sound. In order to write, the child has to hear the individual word units and understand that each unit is a whole and separate "thing".
