What kids do
“Read each sentence. Draw a picture to show what it says.”

- 1. I see a big red sun.

- 3. The dog is in my bed.
- 4. Look at the green dino!

Ask kids to point to each word as they read the sentence before drawing.
How to use it
- Send a copy home so families can play too.
- Read every word on the sheet out loud together before kids start.
- Use it in a literacy center with a partner who checks the reading.
Watch for
Kids who guess from the first letter. Ask them to look at the whole word, all the way to the end.
Talk about it
- Which word was the hardest to read? Why?
- Can you find one of these words in a book from the class library?
