About this worksheet

Illustrations in early reading books do more than decorate the page. They show actions, settings, weather, objects, and feelings that work together with the words. First graders need practice combining both sources rather than ignoring the picture or guessing from it alone. This worksheet pairs a short passage with a reviewed illustration and asks children to make a careful inference, identify the visual detail that supports it, choose a sentence that joins text and picture information, or predict a reasonable next event. Support versions use direct two-sentence clues. Standard practice offers a wider range of scenes, while challenge passages include extra details that must be weighed before answering. Every picture matches its question exactly, and none of the accessible descriptions names the answer. Ask your child to say, 'The text tells me…, the picture shows me…, so I think…' That sentence frame makes the reasoning visible and discourages unsupported guesses.

What your child will learn

  • Gather information from an illustration
  • Combine picture and text evidence
  • Make a supported inference
  • Predict a likely next event

Worked example

The text says the day is warm, and the picture shows water around an ice cube. Together the clues show that the ice is melting.

Common mistake

Answering from the picture alone without checking whether the written clue supports the same idea.

Helpful hint

Name one clue from the words and one clue from the picture before choosing.
