Teaching Prepositions with Picture Books

Prepositions are words that describe position and spatial relationships. Growing in understanding of these types of relationships is an important part of general math understanding.

Position words are related to sequence, like numbers (before, after, between). These words are also related to shape and space, important concepts for geometry and other higher math understanding. These books can help your preschoolers begin to understand prepositions and the meaning of these important words. These words are sometimes referred to as positional words.

Prepositions for children in pictures

Home » Home developmental activities

Knowledge of prepositions and their correct use in speech is a common problem not only for preschoolers, but also for schoolchildren. Therefore, it is extremely important to teach children from early childhood to recognize prepositions, understand what they are for, and use them correctly. Of course, this goal cannot be achieved in a short time and solely by coercion. In this case, games are needed, cards with inscriptions and pictures that demonstrate prepositions and situations in which their use is appropriate.

We offer you prepositions in pictures for children. This is a methodological assistance not only to parents who want to work with their children, but also to educators and tutors. At the same time, the illustrations do not cancel the creative approach to the study of prepositions, but are an example of the situation in which it is appropriate to use this preposition.

After introducing the children to the available pictures, ask them to draw their own, come up with a different situation with a different pretext. Maybe the children will create their own application from parts of the pictures that you can print on our website. From the prepositions in the pictures, you can easily make simple puzzles, disassembling and assembling which the kid will remember both the prepositions themselves and the situations of their use.

Why is it undesirable to just write a preposition or voice it and tell how to use it? The fact is that children do not know how to think abstractly: this property of the mind develops in a person with age. Even if you explain in words in an accessible, understandable way, there is no guarantee that the child will do and remember everything the way you explained it to him.

Picture tablets with the use of prepositions

Prepositions in pictures for children clearly depict an example of a very specific situation of communication. The kid sees, remembers, literally scans the information and puts it into practice in the same situation in life. Therefore, images are very useful for such trainings. And if you want your baby to learn to speak competently, beautifully, appropriately from an early age, study with him, the prepositions in the pictures on our website will be a great addition and a guide for lessons.
