Animal Homes Match

This early learning worksheet helps students in Preschool, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 build listening comprehension, vocabulary, and science understanding through a simple story about animal homes. As children read or listen, they match each animal to where it lives-such as a dog to a doghouse or a bird to a nest-strengthening comprehension, word-concept association, and early habitat awareness in a clear, engaging way.
