Prepositions & Spatial Concepts Worksheets

Help PreK–Grade 2 and special education students learn prepositions and spatial concepts through structured worksheets with clear real photos.

I created this prepositions resource to give students a clear progression from direct visual teaching to increasingly independent language practice. Real-photo examples make each spatial relationship concrete and easy to identify, while the five activity levels gradually increase the demands on receptive and expressive language.

What Is Included

• 50 teaching and worksheet pages
• 10 spatial concepts: in, on, under, next to, between, behind, in front of, above, below, and outside
• Level 1 – Learn the Spatial Concept: 10 direct-teaching pages
• Level 2A – Focused Identification: 10 pages
• Level 2B – Mixed Spatial Concepts: 10 pages
• Level 3 – Where Is It?: 10 pages
• Level 4 – Complete the Sentence: 10 pages
• 4 answer key pages
• Clear real-photo visual support

Skills Practised

Students work on:

• Understanding and using basic prepositions
• Receptive language
• Expressive language
• Visual discrimination
• Answering Where questions
• Completing simple spatial sentences
• Recognising and distinguishing positional relationships

Classroom Use

Teachers and therapists can begin with the direct-teaching pages before moving into focused identification and mixed-picture practice. Students can then progress to Where questions and sentence-completion activities as their understanding becomes more secure.

The worksheets can be used for independent work, small-group teaching, speech therapy, intervention, learning centres, or home practice.

Who Is It For?

This resource is suitable for PreK–Grade 2, autistic students, special education learners, and children receiving speech and language support.

The real photos, predictable activity structure, and gradual increase in difficulty are useful for students who benefit from concrete visual examples and repeated practice with positional words and spatial language.
