About this resource
Description
Young writers learn that a picture can add detail to their words and make their ideas clear. This drawing to add details activity helps Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade students read a short description and draw the details it describes. Each card pairs one sentence with a picture that is missing exactly what the sentence tells about.
How to Use the Drawing Details Activity
Print a set of Detail Cards for each child and cut them apart. Children read the sentence, look closely at the picture, and use crayons to draw the missing detail, such as three red apples on a tree or a blue collar on a dog. Then they check that the finished picture matches every word in the sentence. On the My Detail Picture page, children draw their own picture, add two details and finish a sentence about it. A Kindergarten practice page gives four more sentences to illustrate. This kindergarten adjectives activity is a great fit for a writing center, a small group or a quiet morning task.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 8 Detail Cards, each with a sentence and a picture
- My Detail Picture drawing and writing page
- Kindergarten practice worksheet
- Card answer key and practice answer key
Why Kids Love It
First, children get to color and draw while they practice careful reading. Second, describing words like red, long and blue become something they can see on the page. Third, matching a picture to a sentence builds the habit of adding clear details to their own writing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the sentences aloud for new readers, then let children explain the detail they added. Have partners swap cards and check each other’s pictures. Use this drawing to add details activity before a writing lesson about describing words.
