This free printable read-and-draw worksheet asks kindergarten and first grade children to pay attention to how an action relates to other objects in the sentence. Children read “The boy jumps over puddles.” and create a picture that shows the boy jumping and the puddles beneath or in front of him. The word “over” is an important clue for deciding how the scene should look.
Illustrating action words and positional relationships can help children see how individual words affect the meaning of an entire sentence. The drawing response gives them a visual way to demonstrate comprehension while still allowing creativity in the setting and other details. This free reading worksheet is useful for homeschool, at-home literacy practice, or extra kindergarten and first grade reading comprehension work.
