When do children learn he, she and they?

Most children start using he and she between ages 2 and 3, and they a little later. Mix-ups are common until about age 4 or 5. Hearing the words used clearly, again and again, is what sorts them out, more than being corrected.

My child says her instead of she. Is that normal?

Yes. Sentences like her is jumping are very common in preschool. Repeat the sentence back the usual way, yes, she is jumping, and move on. Listening games like the ones on these pages give a child lots of chances to hear the right word.

How do I practice he, she and they at home?

Look at a picture book together and ask who is doing something, then answer with he, she or they. Family photos work well too. Point and say she is smiling or they are at the beach, and let your child take a turn.

How many Preschool he, she, and they worksheets are there?

16 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

What age are he, she, and they worksheets for?

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

Does my child need to write letters already?

No. Pages start with tracing over dashed guides and build up to writing on their own, one small step at a time.

Can I use these he, she, and they worksheets for homeschool?

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.

Frequently Asked Questions

He, she and they are some of the first words young children use to talk about other people without naming them. Many preschoolers mix them up for a while, saying her is running or him is my friend, and that is a normal part of learning to talk. The 16 pages here practice the three words by listening. A grown-up reads a short sentence aloud, such as She is painting or They are playing, and the child circles the picture that fits: a boy, a girl or a group. The child never has to read a printed word, only listen and look. Each page has an answer key, and the same game works with photos or picture books at home.
