Make It Better
Aligned to W.K.5 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

What this lesson teaches
You can add more to your drawing or words to tell even more.
Worked examples
Example 1
If you drew a dog, you could add a ball to show the dog is playing.
Example 2
If you wrote 'I like dogs,' you could add why: 'I like dogs because they are soft.'
Example 3
Reading your writing out loud helps. If it sounds like something is missing, it probably is.

Hazlo Mejor
Puedes agregar más a tu dibujo o palabras para contar aún más.
Ejemplo 1: Si dibujaste un perro, puedes agregar una pelota para mostrar que el perro juega.
Ejemplo 2: Si escribiste 'Me gustan los perros', puedes agregar por qué: 'Me gustan los perros porque son suaves.'
Ejemplo 3: Leer lo que escribiste en voz alta ayuda. Si suena a que falta algo, probablemente sí falta.
