Which picture matches the sentence?

key idea

When you read, it's important to imagine what a story might look like. Creating a picture in your mind can help you understand what is happening in the story.

The author will often use describing words to help make the picture in your mind more clear.

For example, look at this sentence:

Lia holds the shiny red apple in her hand.

Not all apples look the same. So, when you make a picture in your mind, think about the author's words, shiny and red. These descriptive words help the reader to imagine something like this:

The author also tells the reader that Lia is holding the apple in her hand. These words help the reader imagine what Lia is doing with the apple. So, the reader may imagine something like this:

solution

The sentence tells us that the cat bites a ball of yarn. It also says that the ball of yarn is large.

So, this picture matches the sentence.
