A short sentence can still give children several things to think about. With this free printable worksheet, Pre-K and kindergarten readers begin with “A ball rolls.” and create a drawing that shows the sentence in action. Children can choose what kind of ball to draw, where it is rolling, and what might be around it while making sure their picture still represents what they read.
This simple reading comprehension activity helps children move from recognizing words to forming a mental image of a complete sentence. The drawing response also gives parents an easy way to discuss the sentence afterward: Where is the ball going? What made it roll? What might happen next? Use this free read-and-draw worksheet for early literacy practice at home, homeschool activities, or extra kindergarten and preschool reading practice.
