1st Grade Personal Pronouns Worksheets
Pronouns stand in for names so we don't repeat them: Sam becomes he, Mia and Ana become they. First graders find the stand-in word and connect it back to whoever it replaced.
Free printable PDF, aligned to Common Core L.1.1.d. One skill per page, answer key on page two.
Every sheet is one of a kind and prints with a version code, so you can reprint the exact same one later. New version every click.
The kind of sentences you'll get
Underline every pronoun in each sentence.
-
Maya jogs with her mom today.
Answer: her
- My mom reads to me at night.
- Dad fishes with me at the lake.
Every print draws a fresh mix of sentences at this level, so a make-up test or a second sibling gets a different sheet.
What's on each sheet
- Identify. Underline every pronoun in each sentence. 12 questions per page.
- Multiple choice. Circle the letter of the word that is a pronoun. 10 questions per page.
Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key on the last page.
How to teach this
Read a two-sentence pair aloud the clunky way first: Sam lost Sam's hat because Sam ran. Kids giggle, and the giggle is the lesson; pronouns exist so sentences don't sound like that. Then find the graceful stand-ins on the page.
Watch for: Words like my, his, and their are pronouns too. They show who owns something. The word 'it' is easy to skip because it's short. It still counts.
Common questions about personal pronouns
- Which pronouns matter most in 1st grade?
- The everyday cast: he, she, it, we, they, plus me and you. They're among the most common words in English, so first graders meet them constantly; the skill is noticing who each one stands for.
- How do I check my child really understands?
- Ask the who question: the sentence says SHE naps, so who naps? If your child can trace she back to the cat or to Grandma, the pronoun is understood, not just recognized.
