Great sentence—almost perfect!
Corrected sentence (simple): Anteaters don’t have teeth. They lick up ants and termites with a super-sticky tongue.
What I changed and why:
- Split into two short sentences. Short sentences are easier to read. Your original used a dash, which is okay, but two sentences are clearer for young readers.
- Hyphenated "super-sticky." When two words come before a noun and act together (like "super" + "sticky" describing "tongue"), we usually join them with a hyphen: super-sticky tongue.
- Small wording choice. I used "don’t have" instead of "have no" because it sounds a bit more natural in everyday speech for kids, but both are grammatically correct.
Meaning (easy steps):
- Anteaters don’t have teeth.
- They have a very long, sticky tongue.
- They lick up ants and termites with that tongue to eat them.
Your original sentence was clear and correct in meaning—just a couple of tiny style improvements make it even better. Nice work!
