The Way Home From School

Worksheet Description

The “Read and Draw” worksheet is a delightful tool designed to blend reading and artistic expression for preschool students. As the children journey with Kit and Sam on their whimsical trip home from school, they are prompted to read sentences that incorporate the present continuous tense, marked by the use of ‘-ing’ and ‘-er.’ These sentences, such as “The teacher is singing loudly in his car,” and “The piano player was playing very badly,” are structured to not only practice reading skills but also to introduce basic verb tenses and descriptive language.

Upon reading each sentence, the children are then encouraged to bring the scene to life through drawing, allowing them to visually interpret and represent what they have just read. Whether it’s illustrating a singing teacher or a piano player, a sitting singer, a sheep-catching farmer, a fruit-throwing seller, or footballers enjoying cakes, this exercise fosters imagination and comprehension. The bottom of the worksheet includes a feedback section titled “How Did You Do?” with smiley faces, prompting the children to reflect on their own performance and feel proud of their accomplishments. This worksheet is not only a fun activity but a stepping stone in developing early literacy and cognitive skills through creative play.
