This free printable reading activity asks children to do more than recognize the words in a sentence. After reading “The sun shines.”, they think about what the complete sentence means and draw a picture to represent it. The familiar vocabulary and simple sentence structure make the activity accessible for beginning readers in Pre-K and kindergarten.
Using a drawing as the response keeps the focus on reading comprehension rather than spelling or handwriting. Children can interpret the sentence in their own way while still showing that they understood the key idea, and parents can talk about the finished picture with them for additional reading practice. This free read-and-draw worksheet can be printed for homeschool, at-home learning, or a quick literacy activity between longer lessons.
