These worksheets will help your students understand how authors and illustrators use sequences of images to add meaning to stories.

Students will read simple story sentences and look at the example picture in the middle. Using their imagination and context clues, they will add illustrations to the empty boxes that provide additional information about the characters and settings.

We recommend having your students brainstorm what pictures they could draw before commencing this activity.

This resource includes three versions, with 3 stories in each:

1. Version 1: Students draw pictures that add meaning to the text and fit the story's context.
2. Version 2: Students draw pictures that add meaning to the text and fit the story's context. They answer questions about the characters and settings they chose to include in their drawings.
3. Version 3: Students draw pictures that add meaning to the text and fit the story's context. They explain how their pictures added meaning to the story.
