What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Circle the animal on the left or right in rows with a cat, dog, cow, pig, duck and bear. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Look at the hands. Then circle the animal on the left or on the right, as the word in each row says. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.
Can I use this left and right worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool positional words, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with left and right. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
