About this resource

Description

Matching a sentence to the picture it describes is one of the first real reading jobs a young learner takes on, and this picture matching sentences worksheet makes that job clear and fun. Students read a short, simple sentence, look closely at six friendly illustrations, and decide which picture the words are really talking about. That one decision pulls together decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension at the same time. It also teaches children to treat the pictures on a page as a text feature that carries meaning, not as decoration.

This picture matching sentences worksheet gives students six lettered pictures and six sentences. After reading each sentence, students write the letter of the matching picture in the box beside it. Print one copy per student and use it during guided reading, in a literacy center, or as a quick independent check. Because the answers are scrambled, children have to read every sentence instead of guessing from the order. A complete answer key is included on the last page.

What’s Included

  • One printable 1st Grade reading worksheet in PDF format
  • Six lettered picture cards and six matching sentences
  • A name and date line for easy classroom use
  • A full answer key on the final page

Three reasons this first grade sentences worksheet helps children grow: it builds careful reading, because a single word changes which picture is correct; it strengthens comprehension, since students must hold a whole sentence in mind while they compare the pictures; and it develops confidence with text features, teaching young readers to check an illustration against the words on the page.

Teachers and parents can extend the activity easily. Ask students to read each sentence aloud before they write, cover the pictures and have children draw their own version, or invite them to write one new sentence about a picture they liked. Partners can also quiz each other by naming a letter and saying its sentence from memory.
