1st Grade Personal pronouns Worksheets

First graders should develop several pronoun skills per CCSS L.1.1d: using personal subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) correctly as sentence subjects, using object pronouns (me, him, her, us, them) after verbs and prepositions, using possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) to show ownership, and beginning to use reflexive pronouns (myself, himself, herself) in context. Students should understand that pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition: instead of writing Sarah went to Sarah's locker and Sarah got Sarah's book, we write Sarah went to her locker and she got her book. Worksheets that present sentences with repeated nouns and ask students to replace them with the correct pronoun build this skill directly. Matching activities connecting nouns to their replacement pronouns (the girls = they, Mr. Smith = he, the dog = it) reinforce the noun-pronoun agreement that is essential for clear writing. First-grade pronoun instruction builds the foundation for the pronoun-antecedent agreement work expected in second and third grade CCSS language standards.
