Pre-K Reading: Picture Detail Hunt

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: noticing named details in a story illustration

1

Look at one story picture. Find a character.

2

Find one object the character uses.

3

Point to where the story happens.

4

Draw one small detail you notice.

5

Tell an adult what the character may be doing.

6

Ask one question about the picture.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use one uncluttered illustration so searching is manageable.
  2. Name the page context first, then ask for a specific detail.
  3. Accept pointing, drawing, or spoken language as the child's response.
