On or Under Worksheet: Where is the Object?
Reading a short sentence describing an object's location and then ticking the picture that matches teaches children ages 3-5 to connect spoken or written prepositions, 'on' and 'under,' to a visual representation, strengthening both listening comprehension and spatial vocabulary. This worksheet requires children to hold a sentence in mind and compare it against a picture, which is a slightly more advanced skill than simply naming a position they can already see. Understanding prepositions like these supports later reading comprehension, since so many simple stories depend on describing where things are.

How to use this worksheet
Read the sentence for the first picture aloud together, emphasizing the word 'on' or 'under.' Look at the picture and ask your child whether it matches what the sentence describes. Have your child tick the circle next to the picture that correctly shows the object's location as described in the sentence. Continue through each sentence and picture pair on the page, encouraging your child to reread the sentence if they're unsure before answering.
