As young students discover the concept that print has meaning, they become more aware of words in their environment. Giving a child a piece of paper and a writing utensil and asking them to go find 10 words around the house heightens their awareness of print, and gives them practice with using a utensil. Plus counting to 10! Math!
Neatness doesn't count
Spelling doesn't count
Making the connection that words are everywhere we look is what counts.
