Description
Build sentence clarity, fluency, and comprehension—one preposition at a time.
Prepositions may be small words, but they do big work in helping students understand how ideas connect within a sentence. For older striving readers, weak understanding of prepositions often leads to confusion about relationships between ideas, unclear mental images, and breakdowns in sentence-level and passage-level comprehension. This poster set is designed to make prepositions visible, concrete, and usable—supporting both grammar instruction and reading development.
This resource strengthens students’ understanding of prepositions, prepositional phrases, and objects of the preposition, helping them read more fluently, write more clearly, and better interpret complex sentences across content areas.

📘 Why Teach Prepositions to Older Striving Readers?
Explicit instruction in prepositions helps students:
- Understand how ideas relate within a sentence
- Improve sentence parsing and syntactic awareness
- Strengthen comprehension of complex texts
