Let’s get started
Today we will explore name an illustrator through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Identify who drew the pictures in a storybook.
- Try it as a team: Talk about who and what happened. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Retell or predict in your own words. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.

- Try it again: Identify who drew the pictures in a storybook. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about name an illustrator. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
