Words That Tell Where: Prepositions Worksheet, Grade 1
About this worksheet
Ten sentences drawn from a school day: a pencil on the desk, lunch in a backpack, a clock hanging over the door, feet under a chair, standing behind Sam in line, the letter B between A and C, crayons going back in the box. The eight-word bank is the same one used across this set, but here there is no picture beside any line and the instruction warns that two words get used twice.
Dropping the pictures changes the task completely. A child now has to know what “between” means rather than recognize it, and the repeated words remove the crutch of crossing each one off as it is used. Save this for after the picture-clue sheets, as the check on whether the words actually landed. Several lines have more than one sensible answer, so read what your child wrote and accept anything they can justify.
What students will practice
- Choose a place word from meaning alone
- Work without a picture to lean on
- Reuse a word when the sentence calls for it
