About this resource
Description
A first grader can say above and under long before they can act on them. The gap shows up the moment someone hands them a pencil and a sentence. This Draw the Positions Worksheet closes that gap by turning each preposition into a small job: read the sentence, find the object in the box, and put a shape exactly where the words say. Nothing is circled and nothing is matched, so the child cannot get it right by elimination.
The Draw the Positions Worksheet is a two page printable for 1st Grade. Each of the four cards holds one sentence and one framed box. The box matters: above and under are only meaningful inside something, so the frame is the reference the position is measured against, the same way a number line is the reference for a number. Card one puts a table low in the box and asks for a circle above it. Card two hangs a tree at the top and asks for a square underneath. Card three asks for a triangle next to a carton, and card four asks for a star between two trees. The four shapes are the ones a first grader already names, so the shape is never the hard part. Page two is the complete answer key with every shape drawn in place.
What’s Included
- A two page PDF worksheet written for 1st Grade
- Four prepositions of place: above, under, next to and between
- Four framed reference boxes with generous room to draw
- Four shapes from the first grade shape vocabulary
- A complete answer key on the final page
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Drawing the answer is a harder test than pointing at it, because the child has to commit to a spot rather than choose between two given ones.
- The framed box gives every preposition something to be measured against, so above and under stop depending on which way the paper is turned.
- Between needs two reference objects instead of one, which is the step most position worksheets skip.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
- Use this 1st grade position words worksheet after a read aloud and ask where each object sat.
- Play it out loud first: put a pencil above, under and next to a book before anyone writes.
- Have students write a fifth sentence of their own on the back and trade papers to draw it.
- Come back the next day and ask them to name the position instead of drawing it.
