Preposition Memories

This worksheet helps students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 combine creative narrative writing with focused grammar practice by writing a short paragraph about a memorable experience. As students describe a day from school, family life, or a special event, they apply correct use of the prepositions at, in, and on to show time, place, and position, strengthening sentence fluency, grammar accuracy, and expressive detail.

Learning Goals

• Prepositions in Context: Use at, in, and on correctly to express time, place, and location.
• Grammar and Mechanics: Apply prepositional rules accurately within complete sentences.
• Writing Fluency and Detail: Develop smooth sentences with clear, specific information.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource: Designed to blend grammar instruction with meaningful writing.
• Creative Yet Structured: Encourages personal expression while maintaining clear grammar expectations.
• Built-In Self-Check: Underlining prepositions reinforces accuracy and self-editing skills.
• Flexible Use: Ideal for writing workshops, grammar lessons, journaling, or independent practice.

This printable worksheet helps students strengthen both grammar mastery and narrative writing skills. By reflecting on personal experiences and intentionally using at, in, and on, learners improve sentence clarity, fluency, and confidence in applying grammar rules in context. It is a no-prep resource that works well in both classroom and homeschool language arts settings, supporting expressive writing and accurate language use.
