(Not to mention that they learn about thirty of the over two hundred prepositions&#8230;.not enough memorized preps to adequately recognize them in sentences and use them for sentence openers!)<\/p>\n<p>That is, students can chant a long list of words, but they do not know how to use them.<\/p>\n<p>Enter my Preposition Practice Packet! I use tricks. I use check sentences. I even use toys (\u201cPreposition Practice Pals\u201d!) to teach prepositions (and practice them).<\/p>\n<p>But all of the methods within this Preposition Practice Packet have one thing in common: they focus on the PURPOSE of the preposition\u2014to show spatial relationships or time.<\/p>\n<p>This 80 page practice packet has fifteen lessons (with student assignments) introducing prepositions in a systematic order: initial letter, with the practice pal, as opposites, as synonyms, as compound words, and more.<\/p>\n<p>When you use this packet, your student will learn prepositions by the boatload\u2014but they will also learn them for their purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Preposition Practice Packet\" href=\"https:\/\/characterinkstore.com\/product\/preposition-practice-packet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Preposition Practice Packet\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7658\/27809422886_259f30a276_c.jpg\" alt=\"Preposition Practice Packet\" height=\"759\" width=\"506\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note: If you like the Preposition Practice Packet, you will love the <a href=\"https:\/\/characterinkstore.com\/product\/think-fast-grammar-quizzes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Think Fast Grammar Quiz and Answer Key!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 1972px; left: 66px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 32px; left: 83px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 32px; left: 83px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aboard, about, above.
