About this resource
Description
This Comparing Similar Texts Illustrations worksheet helps 1st graders see that the pictures in a book give information too. Students read two short books about the same topic, pumpkins, and look closely at the picture beside each one. Then they decide what each picture shows and notice how the two illustrations are alike and how they are different.
Book 1 tells where pumpkins grow and shows a pumpkin patch with vines, leaves, and flowers. Book 2 tells what is inside a pumpkin and shows one cut open with its seeds. For five sentences, children fill in bubble 1, bubble 2, or B when both pictures show the same thing. The short, simple sentences are written for beginning readers, and the directions are easy to follow on their own.
What’s Included
- Two short informational books on the same topic, each with its own full-color picture.
- Five picture-comparison items with fill-in bubbles for Picture 1, Picture 2, or Both.
- A Name and Date line for easy classroom use.
- A complete answer key.
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Children practice comparing illustrations in two texts on one topic, a key 1st grade compare and contrast skill.
- The Both choice teaches kids to spot what two texts share, not just how they differ.
- Looking closely at pictures builds careful reading habits for every subject.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, hold up two picture books about the same animal and ask how the pictures are different. After the Comparing Similar Texts Illustrations worksheet is done, have children draw a third picture about pumpkins and tell what new information it adds. You can also cut open a real pumpkin together and compare it to the picture in Book 2. This page works well in a reading center, as a fall activity, or as a quick 1st grade compare and contrast worksheet for homework.
