Good question. According to the DIBELS fluency test we use at my school, at the end of FIRST grade, a student should be able to read 1 word every second (60 words a minute). At the mid-year testing, FIRST GRADERS should be reading one word every 2-3 seconds (20-30 WPM). Each grade goes up a little from the end of First Grade. Second is 90-100 WPM and Third Grade is 110-120 WPM. Kindergarten does not focus on fluency in their testing. Probably because there aren't a lot of Kindergarten classrooms that have students reading sentences fluently enough to assess that. I would say that by the end of Kindergarten, a student should be reading at least 10-20 WPM if not more.

What are the rules of spacing letters?

In kindergarten they taught me a trick for spacing words: Write the word. Then place your finger right after the word. Where your finger ends (width) is where you should write the next word. Typically, after kindergarten you will not need to do this anymore. (I hope this is for your kid...)
