Today I am practising: turning a pictured action into a complete sentence
Draw a child kicking a ball at a field. Write one sentence about the picture.
Look at a cat on a chair. Write who, does what, and where.
Draw a bird flying over a tree. Label the who and action before writing a sentence.
A child paints at a table. Write the sentence and circle the action word.
Draw your own playground action. Write a sentence about it.
Read your best picture sentence to an adult. Ask them to name the three parts.
- Let the child dictate the sentence first if handwriting would interrupt the idea.
- Accept a simple drawing; the teaching goal is connecting the picture to language, not art detail.
- Use a gentle question about place when the child gives only a who and action.
