I don’t know if this will help you, but it helped me—-I think about standing next to a wall.

I can go Toward the wall, under the wall, stand on or upon the wall, go over the wall, past the wall……..

At least this will give you a start.

Prepositions Song

*Note: This song was created by my students and myself. Proper credit should be given to my very creative students!

Objectives:

1. As a mini-lesson in our writer’s workshop, prepositions are introduced. Students will be expected to memorize the following list of prepositions and encouraged to use them in their writing.

2. In order to memorize them, the students will be given the opportunity to learn the following song. It is sung to the tune of “Battle Hymn Republic.”

————————————————–

(Mine eyes have seen the glory. . .) Read downward by columns.

aboard—among—beside—for

about—-around–between–from

above—-at——beyond—in

across—before–by——-into

after—-behind–down—–like

against–below—during—of

along—-beneath–except–off

(Glory, glory, halleluiah. . .) Read downward by columns.

over——-to——-underneath—-with

past——-toward—until———within

since——under—-up————without

through————-upon

throughout

(Second Verse-Glory, glory, halleluia. . .)

Prepositions come in phrases.

The phrases always end in objects.

Prepositions never work alone,

or they’re called adverbs!

————————————————–

We sing the song during class daily to practice. Students are encouraged to see that the prepositions are listed in alphabetical order to assist them in their memorization goal.

Here, I think that you will find this to be very helpful:

Note on Assessment: I give a quiz on the memorization of the prepositions in about one week. I just have the students write them on a clean sheet of paper. Usually, as they do this, I see them singing the song in their heads as they write them! I also keep track of the students’ use of prepositions in their own writing.
