Preschool Grammar Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the picture.
The cat sits on the book. Who is sitting?
The bear sleeps under the tree. Who is sleeping?
The fish swims under the boat. Who is swimming?
The frog hops onto the rock. Who is hopping?
The pig rolls the ball. Who is rolling it?
The dog naps on the hat. Who is napping?
This sheet used to ask a three-year-old which spoken word was a naming word, which is a question about grammar rather than about meaning, and it printed the choices as words the child could not read. What a preschooler can genuinely do is listen to a short sentence and show you what it is about. That is the whole task here. An adult reads one sentence and one question; the child looks at three or four pictures and puts a finger on the answer. The first level asks who is doing something, which is the part of a sentence children track first.
The middle level names two things in one sentence and then asks about the second one, so the child has to keep the whole idea in mind instead of grabbing the first word they recognize. The last level gives two clues and names nothing at all, so the child works from meaning alone. Say each sentence once at a normal speed, then wait. If the finger hovers, say it again rather than pointing yourself.
Head Start ELOF standard: P-LC 2, L.K.1.B
You read, “The frog hops onto the rock. Who is hopping?” Both a frog and a rock are on the page. The rock does not hop, so the finger goes to the frog.
Pointing at the last thing named in the sentence, because it is the word still ringing in the ear when the question arrives.
Read the sentence, pause, then read the question. Let the child point before you say anything else.
