Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Use the "Be the word" game to demonstrate the concept. Cut up a sentence into individual words. Call a group of learners to rearrange the words to form the sentence. Each child picks a word and be that word when the sentence is being rebuild. Call the learners to rearrange the words to form the sentence. Make sure learners leave a space in between them when rearranging the words to form the sentence. Scaffold them to see how words are separated in print.
