About this worksheet

Illustrations carry information that a short sentence may not state directly. In kindergarten, learning to use that information is part of understanding a story rather than merely naming objects in a picture. The reviewed scenes on this worksheet make one useful clue clear: rain explains the boots, a parent bird carrying food explains a chirp, and a drooping plant explains why a child is watering it. Read the sentence aloud, then ask your child to look for the detail that helps answer the question.

Support items use an obvious object or action. Standard questions connect a visible clue with a simple reason. Challenge questions include a small inference, but every answer remains grounded in what the child can see. Watch for guessing from personal experience without checking the scene. Ask the child to point to the clue before selecting a short answer.

What your child will learn

  • Use an illustration to add information to spoken text
  • Point to a visible detail that supports an answer
  • Connect weather or position clues with an action
  • Make a simple inference without inventing new story details

Common Core standard: RL.K.7

Worked example

Ben is wearing rain boots and wet ground and gray clouds are visible. Those picture clues show the weather is rain, so circle the rain picture.

Common mistake
