Teaching tips
- Common Core L.1.1.i asks students to use frequently occurring prepositions, like during, beyond and toward.
- Ask “Where?” or “When?” A preposition often answers one of those questions: under the bed, after the game.
- Act it out: have students put a pencil on, under, beside and between objects on their desk.
