Using Pictures for Clues

Look at the Pictures

Pictures in books and on signs can help you figure out what words mean. If you don’t know a word, look at the picture and think about what is happening. This can help you guess what the word might be.

How It Helps

  • Helps you understand the story
  • Makes tricky words easier to figure out

Examples

  • Look at the picture of a dog next to the word 'dog' to help you read it.

  • See a picture of a sun to guess the word 'sun' in a story.
