Read a Picture PowerPoints and Worksheets

A set of PowerPoints covering different reading skills. Each PowerPoint also has a set of worksheets.

Sequencing and Predictions PowerPoint

A set of ten pictures each with sequencing and prediction activities.

For the prediction activities, children need to answer questions about the picture eg what do you think happened before the fish found the treasure chest or what do you think will happen next.

For the sequencing activity, children need to sequence sentences about the picture or complete sentences explaining what they think happened in the story.

This PowerPoint encourages lots of discussion and talk from the children.

Vocabulary PowerPoint

A set of ten pictures and accompanying sentences introducing new vocabulary.

For each picture children have to identify a word within the sentences for example the word that describes the cakes or the word that tells you what the bird is doing. Once they have identified the word and talked about it’s meaning they then need to find other words that they could use instead for example they could replace large with huge, oversized. For the next activity children need to read a sentence and talk about what they think one of the words within the sentence means.

This activity PowerPoint introduces children to new vocabulary and encourages them to use the picture and the whole sentence to discuss what they think words mean. For some children they will be able to read the sentences independently however for other children I will read the sentence to them or with them depending on their ability. This activity focuses on vocabulary and discussing word meaning and not on children’s reading ability.

**Retrieval and Imagination PowerPoint **

A set of ten pictures each with a retrieval activity and an imagination activity.

For the retrieval activity, children need to look at the picture and then answer retrieval questions about the picture.

For the imagination activity, children look at the picture and answer questions involving their imagination. This gives the children the opportunity to explain their thinking.
