How to Use This Pack

Four pages of position words. On two pages each picture shows an animal in a box or on, under or next to a table, and children circle the word that finishes the sentence: The cat is under the table. On two pages children circle the position word in each sentence, as in The frog hops on the log.

In the Classroom

Give directions with position words for children to follow: put your hand on your head, your pencil under your chair. Then read each sentence aloud and ask which word tells where.

At Home

Ask where things are when you tidy up: Is the sock under the bed? Is the cup on the table? Let your child answer with a position word.

Tips for Success

  • Look at the picture carefully
  • A position word tells where
  • On is on top, under is below
  • Next to means beside
  • Check the answer key
