About this resource
Description
Young readers learn from two places on every page: the pictures and the words. This pictures and words context clues activity helps preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade students notice where a fact comes from, so they learn to use both the illustrations and the text as clues when they read.
The activity is a picture or words game for the whole class. Show one of the six printed picture pages, read its sentence together, then read a fact from the teacher list. Children hold up their Pictures card or their Words card to show where that fact came from, and one child points to the clue on the page. Each fact appears in only one place, so every answer is clear. No picture book is needed because the pages are included.
What’s Included
- Cover page and a How to Use page with materials, setup and game steps
- Pictures and Words sign cards with simple icons
- Six full-color picture pages, each with one sentence
- Teacher fact list with two facts for every page
- Kindergarten practice worksheet with three items
- Answer keys for the fact list and the practice worksheet
Why It Helps Kids
- Holding up a card keeps every child involved in every question.
- Children learn that pictures carry real information, not just decoration.
- Pointing to the clue builds the habit of looking back at the page for evidence.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this pictures and words context clues activity during whole-group reading time, then repeat it with any picture book in your classroom library. Let children take turns making up their own facts for the class to sort. At home, a parent can play the same game with a favorite bedtime story and ask, did we learn that from the picture or from the words?
