Available only to premium members

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A creative reading strategy activity where students read a Christmas-themed text, then draw a picture based on the description. Suitable for early and middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

Improve reading comprehension through visualising techniques.
Enhance creativity by illustrating text-based descriptions.
Develop the ability to identify key details and represent them visually.

How the Activity Works:

Students read a festive text about an elf who finds themselves in an unusual location—a fridge! After reading, students use their imagination and the text’s details to draw a picture that matches the scene described. This activity helps students to practise visualising and interpreting text, while also engaging their creativity in a fun, holiday-themed context.
