Abbreviations in Action #2

Decode common abbreviations in this upper elementary worksheet! For each of 12 phrases, students will start by circling the abbreviation. Then, learners will draw a line to match the abbreviation to its full word. As an added challenge, students are asked to sort eight of the abbreviations into two categories.

Created for third, fourth, and fifth graders, this practice helps students recognize abbreviations and their full meanings in context. Abbreviations can be used for months, book terms, company names, and more! Familiarity with these abbreviations will prepare learners for writing and reading them in their everyday lives.
