These worksheet pages feature four illustrated panels with pictures that tell a story, but it's up to your students to fill in the words! Each panel includes one or two speech or thought bubbles so students can write text or dialogue to match the images and create a cohesive story. Some feature pictures of people, like a girl and a boy mixing ingredients in a pizza parlor, unexpected objects, like two tulip bulbs waiting to grow under the ground, and make-believe alien critters who are playing with a hula hoop. When they're done filling in the text bubbles, students can color the pictures.
Writing a story to go with a picture or a series of pictures, like in a comic book, is a great way for students to practice their comprehension skills. They can practice creating a cohesive story that makes sense, but it also enables them to be creative because they have to come up with their own interpretation for the pictures they see.
This type of activity can be a great way to tie more than one subject together. For example, students could write descriptions for images that follow a series of events in history, or you can encourage them to use scientific vocabulary when filling in thought bubbles for images that show two students completing a scientific experiment.
You can also ask students to do the reverse by giving them the words and asking them to draw pictures, which is a great way to tie reading comprehension, art, and fine motor skills together.
