Picture sentences — Reading comprehension for kids

A picture passage tells you what is in a place: “This is a park. A boy sits on the swing.” Read each sentence slowly and make a picture of it in your mind. Then every question — who, what, where, what colour, how many — has its answer in one of the sentences.

Reading tip

See it, then say it — “make a picture of the sentences in your mind, then find the word that answers”

  1. Read the sentences slowly and picture them.
  2. Look at the question word: who (a person), what (a thing), where (a place), how many (a number).
  3. Go back and find the sentence that has the answer.

Use it for: Your first reading lessons, “read and answer” pages in Class 1 English books, and describing pictures.

Worked example: Where is the boy? → on the swing

  1. Read the passage: This is a park. A boy sits on the swing. A brown dog runs on the grass.
  2. Find the line with the answer: “A boy sits on the swing.”
  3. These words give the answer: on the swing.

Check: The line “A boy sits on the swing.” gives exactly “on the swing” ✓
