Kindergarten Copywork: Copy and Illustrate

Today I am practising: using an illustration to check the meaning of a copied sentence
1
Read: The dog has a hat.
2
Copy the sentence carefully.
3
Draw the dog and hat from the sentence.
4
Circle dog and hat in your copy.
5
Read the sentence and point to each part of your drawing.
6
Write or dictate one new detail for an adult to add to the picture.
- Invite a simple sketch; the drawing is a meaning check, not an art task.
- Ask what the sentence says before the child starts drawing.
- If a key word was omitted in the copy, return to the model together without rewriting everything.
