Can a child show the meaning of an action word through a picture? This free Pre-K and kindergarten worksheet asks children to read “The dog sits.” and draw a scene that represents what they read. To match the sentence, their picture should show a dog in a sitting position, while details such as the dog’s appearance, location, and surroundings are up to them.
This simple read-and-draw activity can help parents see whether a beginning reader understands the action described in a sentence rather than recognizing only the familiar noun. Children practice reading comprehension and visualization while responding entirely through their artwork, with no additional writing required. Print this free early reading worksheet for home practice, homeschool, or a short kindergarten or preschool literacy activity.
