Abbreviations Worksheet: Matching and Writing Practice
This worksheet introduces children ages 4-6 to common abbreviations — like Mr., Dr., or St. — by having them match each shortened form to the correct sentence context and then write it in correctly. Understanding that some words have a shortened written form is an important early literacy concept, since abbreviations appear constantly in books, signs, and everyday writing. Practicing both matching and writing reinforces the connection between recognizing an abbreviation and producing it correctly from memory.

How to use this worksheet
Read each sentence together and figure out which word is missing an abbreviation, such as a title before a name or a street address. Look in the word box for the abbreviation that fits and discuss why it matches. Once your child identifies the correct one, have them write it neatly in the blank space provided. Continue through each sentence, reviewing what the abbreviation stands for after it's written.
