What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Find the middle shelf of a bookcase and dot every book on it. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Find the middle shelf. The child puts a dot on every book on the middle shelf. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.
Can I use this top and bottom 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 top and bottom. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
