Read and Match: Sentence Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Read each sentence aloud together, pointing to each word as you say it. Ask your child what picture they'd expect to see based on the sentence before looking at the picture choices at the bottom of the page. Have them cut out the picture that matches the sentence and paste it into the empty box beside that sentence. Repeat for each sentence on the page, then read through the completed worksheet together from start to finish.

Materials needed

• Pencil
• Scissors
• Glue or Tape

Extension activities

• 1Cover the picture choices and ask your child to draw their own picture for a sentence instead of matching a printed one.

• 3Cut sentences from an old book or magazine and have your child match them to hand-drawn pictures.
• 4Play a guessing game where you read a sentence and your child finds a real object in the room that matches it.
• 5Have your child dictate their own simple sentence for you to write down, then draw a matching picture.
