Read and Match: Sentence Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet has 3-5 year olds read a short, simple sentence and then find and paste the one picture that actually matches its meaning — a task that requires genuine reading comprehension rather than picture-guessing, since more than one image on the page might look similar at a glance. Because the child has to hold the sentence's meaning in mind while comparing several picture options, this builds an early bridge between decoding words and understanding what they describe.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first sentence aloud together, or have your child try reading it independently if they're ready. Ask your child to describe what the sentence is saying happened before looking at any pictures. Have them find the picture that matches the sentence among the choices, cut it out, and paste it into the box next to the sentence. Move to the next sentence and repeat, rereading each sentence together once its picture is glued in place.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
