Summer Read and Draw Activity

Looking for a fun, low-prep, and meaningful way to keep your little learners engaged during the sunny months?

This Summer Read and Draw Activity is the perfect blend of literacy and creativity for K–2 students, because even in summer, reading should be cool (like popsicles and pool days)!

This resource includes simple, engaging sentences for students to read, followed by a drawing prompt based on what they just read. Think of it as a quiet literacy party, with crayons.

Expect giggles, imagination, and proudly displayed masterpieces, all while secretly boosting reading comprehension and vocabulary. Win-win!

Ways to Use:

• Morning work or independent centers

• Summer packets for review

• Sub plans or fast-finisher tasks

• Distance learning or take-home practice

Advantages:

• Reinforces reading comprehension without the groans

• Encourages creative thinking and fine motor skills

• Builds confidence in emerging readers

• Requires no prep, just print and go (yes, really!)

• Great for keeping kids quietly busy while you sip your lukewarm coffee

Give your students a sunny way to learn and express themselves, because drawing what you read is way more fun than just bubbling in answers.
