How to use this worksheet

  1. Read one direction aloud and emphasise the position word. Children do not need to read the sentence.
  2. Look at both pictures. Ask the child to point to the ball and the table, box or trees.
  3. Circle the matching picture. Repeat the position word and talk about where the ball is.

Choose your practice

Practise above/below, inside/outside, or beside/between. Choose outline or pre-coloured pictures; the task stays the same.

Model the position with a real ball and a box first. Pointing is a valid response when pencil control is still developing.

Changing the practice level creates a fresh version. For another sheet at the same level, use the New practice sheet button. Save the settings link or add the sheet to a pack to keep that version. Tracing keeps the same correct forms and varies their arrangement or path lengths.

Age guidance is approximate. Print on A4 or US Letter paper. Choose outlines to save ink or pre-coloured pictures to start the activity without colouring. The instructor key follows the same worksheet options and paper size.
