Abbreviations Worksheet: Matching Words and Abbreviations!
This worksheet teaches children common abbreviations, like 'Dr.' for Doctor or 'St.' for Street, by having them match each full word to its shortened form. For four- to six-year-olds who are building early reading and writing fluency, recognizing abbreviations is a practical real-world skill, since these shortened forms appear regularly in addresses, titles, and everyday writing.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first full word aloud together, like 'Mister.' Look at the list of abbreviations and ask your child to find the one that matches, sounding out the letters if needed. Have them draw a line connecting the word to its correct abbreviation. Once all the matches are complete, have your child rewrite one or two of the practice sentences using the correct abbreviations in place of the full words.
