Literacy Tutoring Tip:
Help Your Student Express Their Love For Reading
Illustration can be a literacy activity too! If you have a student who really wants to draw, have them make an illustration of their favorite book or literary character. Then have them write about their drawing, or they can dictate while you write.
If you would like a guide for this activity, take a moment to download the document "Favorite Character" that asks students to name and draw their favorite children's book character. You can also use this as a fun way to celebrate each book you finish together.
