This purposeful Christmas-themed activity has been designed to accompany a whole class reading of the picture book Pete the Cat Saves Christmas by Eric Litwin. These no-prep worksheets will allow you to check your students’ ability to summarise a familiar story.   After reading the text, students will identify and record the key elements of the story, including the main characters, setting and plot. We have included multiple options to suit the needs of your class, including:

1. Drawing a picture that summarises what the story was about.
2. Drawing and using a sentence prompt to write a summary of what the story was about on 24mm lines.
3. Drawing and using a sentence prompt to write a summary of what the story was about on 18mm lines.

  This task is perfect for independent work, a small group task, scribing, evidence for assessment or for a relief folder!   Early Years and Foundation students may benefit from having this resource enlarged to A3 to provide more space for drawing and writing.   Available in our basic fun font and all Australian state fonts.   Check out more amazing resources related to Pete the Cat Saves Christmas in our Pete the Cat Saves Christmas PACKAGE.
