Pictures Help You Understand

When you read, look at the pictures or illustrations. They give you clues about what is happening in the story and help you understand new words.

Before you read, look at the pictures to guess what the story might be about.
While you read, use the pictures to help you figure out tricky words or events.

Pictures make reading more fun and help you learn!

Examples

Looking at a picture of a rainy day to understand what the story weather is like.
Seeing an illustration of a dog barking to figure out the word 'bark.'
