Video @ https://youtu.be/I_s15vaDFOw I made this video in response to the many emails I received from parents asking how to teach kids prepositions. A preposition is a word (by, during, on, to....) that is used before a noun or pronoun to link its relationship with other words in a sentence. The video covers - common prepositions, prepositions that tell about time, prepositions that tell about location and prepositions that tell about direction. The activities have engaging visuals, step by step examples and demonstration lessons for parents. The link for all templates can be found @ https://youtu.be/I_s15vaDFOw

1. A preposition is a word (by, during, on to…..) that is used before
a noun or pronoun to link its relationship with other words in the
sentence.
