About this resource
Description
Every picture book has two important helpers. The author writes the words, and the illustrator draws the pictures. This author and illustrator of a story worksheet helps kindergarten students learn what each helper does, so they can name the author and illustrator of any book they read.
About This Worksheet
This kindergarten author and illustrator worksheet starts with an open book. One page holds the words of a short story and the other page shows the picture of a little sailboat on the sea. Children draw a line from the word author to the page the author made, and from the word illustrator to the page the illustrator made. In the second part, children read four short sentences such as “I write the words” and “I draw the pictures,” then color the dot under the helper who is talking. Read the sentences aloud with early readers, then let them decide on their own.
What’s Included
- An open-book matching activity for the author and the illustrator
- Four “Who is talking?” sentences with color-the-dot answers
- Large, easy-to-read type for kindergarten readers
- A full answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It builds the vocabulary words author and illustrator that children hear during every read-aloud.
- It connects each job to a real part of a book, the words or the pictures.
- It prepares students to name the author and illustrator and tell what each one does, a key kindergarten reading standard.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the author and illustrator of a story worksheet right after a read-aloud. Hold up the book, point to the names on the cover, and ask who wrote the words and who drew the pictures. Children can also make their own tiny book, writing one sentence as the author and drawing one picture as the illustrator. It works well in a reading center, as morning work, or as a quick homeschool lesson.
