Subject and Predicate Sorting Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet introduces children ages 4-5 to a basic building block of sentence grammar, teaching them that every sentence has a subject — who or what it's about — and a predicate — what that subject does or is. Sorting sentence fragments into these two categories helps children start to notice sentence structure, which supports both reading comprehension and their own sentence writing later on. This early grammar awareness lays groundwork for more formal sentence study in kindergarten and beyond.

How to use this worksheet
Read a complete example sentence together and point out which part tells who or what it's about, and which part tells what that subject is doing. Have your child cut out the sentence-part boxes from the bottom of the page using child-safe scissors. For each cut-out piece, read it aloud together and decide whether it's a subject or a predicate before gluing it into the correct column. Once every piece is sorted, read a few subject-predicate pairs back together to hear them as complete sentences.
