About this resource
-This product provides children with the opportunity to observe an information-rich image related to spring and then record their observations in a complete text describing the image.
-By engaging in such activities, children develop their observation and description skills while at the same time cultivating their creative thinking, as they are required to compose a text in a complete form.
-The pictures are child-friendly and are in colour.
-The pictures can be printed in large size so that they can be displayed to the whole class or posted on the pinboard.
For helping students describe the pictures you can teach them to use the sensory language strategy. For that, you might find the following products helpful
