Description
My student Ben could read every word but didn’t understand the story. I told him, “Don’t just read it—watch it.” I asked about the character’s silly hat and how the forest felt. This worksheet gives kids a director’s chair and storyboard to capture the movie in their minds, turning words into real understanding.
Why Drawing What You Read is a Superpower
- Reveals Misunderstanding: If a child draws a beach for a blizzard scene, you see the problem right away.
- Engages Reluctant Readers: Drawing is a fun, low-pressure way to show understanding.
What’s Inside This Visualization Workshop?
1. Descriptive Passages: Texts rich with sensory details—easy to illustrate.
2. Director’s Prompts: Guided questions like:
- “Zoom in on the main character. What details will you add?”
- “What happened just before this moment? Can you show it?”
3. Storyboard Box: A big space to bring their mental movie to life.
4. Reflective Debrief: Ask, “How did drawing help you understand the story better?”
3 Tips for Your Young Storyboard Artist
1. Brain Freeze Frames: Pause on the most exciting part and draw just that frame.
2. Focus on Feeling, Not Perfection: Praise ideas, not art quality. Example: “Those dark clouds really show the mood!”
3. Model Visualization: Share your own mental picture out loud to guide them.
