Preschool Listen and Find the Picture worksheets

About this worksheet

Vocabulary at this age is mostly words a child understands before they can produce them, and the way to see it is to say a word and watch where the finger goes. Every item here is a row of pictures and something an adult says aloud; nothing on the page needs to be read. The first level simply names the object, which shows whether the word is there at all. The second gives a clue about what the thing does instead of naming it, so the child has to work from meaning: the one you drink from, the one that opens a lock.

The third puts four things from a single group side by side and separates them with one property, so it is no longer enough to know that all four are animals; the child has to know which of them gives us milk. Keep the talk going after the page. Words stick when they are used, not when they are tested.

What your child will learn

• Point to an object when an adult names it
• Find an object from a clue about what it does
