Simple Sentences: Read and Draw Worksheet for Kids

How to use this worksheet

Read the first sentence aloud together, pointing to each word as you say it. Ask your child what the sentence is describing before they start drawing, to make sure they've understood it. Have them draw a picture in the box that matches the sentence. Repeat for each sentence on the page, then look back through the finished drawings together and re-read each sentence alongside its picture.

Materials needed

• Pencil
• Crayons or colored pencils

Extension activities

• 1Have the child write their own simple sentences, then swap with a sibling or parent to draw each other's sentences.
• 2Turn one of the sentences into a short act-it-out game before drawing.
• 3Read a short picture book together and pause to ask your child to describe what's happening in their own words.
• 4Create a simple sentence scrapbook, adding one new sentence and drawing each week.
• 5Play 'guess my sentence,' where you draw a simple picture and your child writes or says a sentence describing it.
