Understanding Position Words
Position words help us describe where things are located!
Just like we have words for colors and numbers, we have special words to tell us if something is up high, down low, or in between. These words are super helpful when we're playing games, following directions, or even cleaning up our toys!
Let's Learn the Position Words
1️⃣ Above means higher than something else
2️⃣ Below means lower than something else
3️⃣ Top is the highest part
4️⃣ Middle is the center part
5️⃣ Bottom is the lowest part

Parent Tips 🌟
- Play "I Spy" with positions: Say things like "I spy something above the table" or "I see something on the bottom shelf" during everyday activities.
- Use position words during cleanup: Ask your child to put toys "above" or "below" certain items to reinforce these concepts naturally.
- Create a position obstacle course: Set up simple instructions like "crawl below the table" or "jump above the line" for active learning.
