Above and Below Worksheet: Identifying Objects' Positions

How to use this worksheet

Look at the picture together and talk about what you see, naming a few objects out loud. Ask your child to find objects that are positioned above something else in the scene and place a tick mark next to each one. Then have them find objects positioned below something else and mark those with a cross. Review the page together afterward, asking your child to explain why they marked a couple of the objects the way they did.
