Three little ideas

  • Look closely — let your eyes move all over the picture, top to bottom.
  • Name each thing — point and say: tree, bird, swing, ball.
  • Find tiny things — a small bird or a flower hiding in a corner.

Try it. You see a picture of a garden.

Point and name: flower, tree, butterfly, bench. Naming things helps you read.

  • A sentence tells a whole idea: “I can see a yellow kite.”
  • Add a colour or number“I can see two red apples.”
  • Say it out loud — one clear sentence about something in the picture.
  • Where wordsin, on, under, near: “The cat is on the mat.”
  • How many — count the things: “There are three birds.”
  • Put it together“Two ducks are in the pond.”
Remember: first look, then name, then tell about it in a little sentence.

Pictures help us read

Story books

Before you can read all the words, the pictures tell you what is happening. Looking carefully helps you guess the story.

Talking about your day

Naming what you see and saying little sentences helps you tell people about a park, a market or a festival you saw.

Learning new words

Every picture gives you new naming words, colour words and “where” words to use in your own speaking and writing.

Hi! Ask me how to read a picture — looking closely, naming things, counting, finding where things are, and making a little ‘I can see…’ sentence.
