Why start with in and on?

In and on are usually the first position words children learn, and they are easy to show with any toy and box. Once they feel sure, under and beside and above and below follow the same pattern.

How many Preschool in and on 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 in and on 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 in and on 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.
