Print by grade
-
1st grade
Prepositions are little where-words that tell where something is or where it's going: in, on, under, by. First graders find the where-word in short sentences, a skill their hands already know from putting toys in boxes and cups on tables.

A preposition is a connecting word that usually tells where or when: the cat hid under the porch, we read after lunch. Second graders learn the common ones (in, on, at, under, with, by) and find them in sentences.
-
3rd grade
A preposition connects a noun to the rest of the sentence, usually telling where, when, or how: across the field, during recess, with a flashlight. Third graders find prepositions and start noticing the whole phrase that follows.
-
4th grade
A preposition starts a prepositional phrase: through the tunnel, before the storm, against the wall. Fourth graders identify the preposition and the phrase it begins, and use those phrases to add detail to their own writing.
