PICTURE AND READING COMPREHENSION – SUMMER

What’s true and what’s not?

The task is to look at the picture on the card, read the English sentences next to the picture, and then choose the sentences that are true. Most of the sentences describe what is seen in the picture (e.g. I see a beach. There’s a bucket with a shovel on the beach. I don’t see any children in the sea.), but a few sentences are based on general knowledge (e.g. None of these fruits can grow in Germany – picture of a peach, blueberries, and strawberries; therefore the sentence is not true).

The cards may have one true statement, more than one true statement, or may not have any true statements at all.

The worksheets included are based on the same principle as the cards.

The cards and worksheets are available in both American and British English (has vs. has got, popsicles vs. ice lollies, favorite vs. favourite etc.)

 

The cards and worksheets help students practice:

• vocabulary: general summer vocabulary (sun, swimming pool, ice cream, popsicle, to swim…), at the beach (beach bag, bucket and shovel, sandcastle, towel, seashell, tube, sunscreen), traveling (plane, car, map, passport, suitcase, postcard…), nature (mountains, hills, sea, river, sky, trees, bushes, clouds, forest, stars, moon…), summer clothes (flip-flops, shorts, swimsuit, sunglasses, hat…), summer fruit and vegetables (strawberry, blueberry, peach, pineapple, watermelon, tomato, pepper…)

• there is, there are

• verbs can, have, be in positive and negative sentences

• contractions (can’t vs. cannot etc.)

 

This teaching material includes:

• 30 cards

• 3 worksheets – each worksheet includes four pictures with six sentences. Students who need an additional challenge can come up with their own sentences for the given picture (true or false).

• answer key – a table of all cards in which true statements are marked.
