Reading Comprehension With Pictures Worksheet With Answers

Description

I once worked with a boy named Leo who shut down when he saw a paragraph of text. “Too many words,” he’d say. But show him a busy illustration, and he could talk for minutes about it. We started by “reading” pictures first. His confidence grew because he was understanding stories—even without text.

Why “Reading” Pictures is the Ultimate Pre-Reading Bootcamp

Pictures open the door to comprehension without needing to decode letters. They are a powerful but underused tool for building confident thinkers.

• They Reduce Reading Anxiety: Text can be overwhelming, but pictures feel inviting and prove kids can understand stories.
• They Teach Inference Naturally: Kids learn to read clues (a smile, a frown, a spilled glass) and figure out cause and effect—just like with text later on.
• They Build Rich Vocabulary: Instead of just “dog,” kids describe the scruffy dog chasing the scared cat up the tree.

What’s Inside This Visual Literacy Toolkit?

Each worksheet guides kids through real comprehension, not just matching pictures to sentences.

• What do you SEE? (Literal details)
• What do you THINK is happening? (Inferences)
• What do you WONDER will happen next? (Predictions)

This framework builds the process of comprehension.

1. Tiered Questioning for All Learners:

• Literal: “Who is in the picture?” “Where are they?”
• Inferential: “How is she feeling? How can you tell?”
• Evaluative: “What would be a good title?” “What would you change?”

3 Tips to Turn Observation into Comprehension

1. Let Them Be the Detective: Use “See-Think-Wonder” with any picture book. “What clues show the bear is angry?”

2. Ask ‘How Do You Know?’: Push them to point to evidence. “He’s scared? How do you know? Because his eyes are wide. Great job!”

3. Encourage Wild Predictions: There’s no wrong answer. If they say the astronaut is going to a birthday party on the moon, ask what they’d bring. This builds creativity and comprehension.
