Pre-K Reading: Real or Make-Believe
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: distinguishing real details from pretend story details
1
Look at a dog sleeping. Is it real or make-believe?
2
Look at a cat flying. Is it real or make-believe?
3
Sort a tree growing and a tree talking.
4
Draw one real thing from a book picture.
5
Draw one make-believe thing from a book picture.
6
Tell an adult why one picture is pretend.
- Use calm, familiar examples and avoid treating fantasy as a mistake.
- Ask what happens in real life after the child sorts an example.
- Keep the distinction to visible story details, not broad claims about a whole book.
