About this worksheet
Pronouns let speakers avoid repeating a name in every sentence. In kindergarten, the most useful starting set is he, she, and they. The key reasoning is matching the pronoun to the person or group already named: he for one boy, she for one girl, and they for two or more people. Children sometimes choose according to the nearest name and miss that two names form a group. Others repeat the full name because they have not yet understood that the shorter word can stand in its place. This worksheet uses familiar names and one brief action, keeping the decision visible and concrete. Read the name first, cover it with your finger, and then read the sentence with each option. The choice that keeps the meaning is the answer. The activity focuses on grammatical agreement; families can also explain that people may use different pronouns for themselves in real life.
What your child will learn

Worked example
‘Ava paints. She uses blue.’ She stands for Ava, so the name does not need repeating.
Common mistake
Using he or she for a pair of people instead of the group word they.
Helpful hint
One person uses he or she here; two people use they.
