Director Dot
Lights, camera, tentacles! Director Dot the octopus turns stories into pictures. With eight arms, she checks every detail. Does the picture match the words? Let's help her check.
Words into a picture
Dot reads a sentence. Three turtles napped under a full moon. Her artist draws it. Now check each detail. How many turtles? Three. What's in the sky? A full moon. Every word matches!
Spot the mismatch
Here are more drawings for the same sentence. Two turtles? Wrong number. A sun? Wrong sky. Three frogs? Wrong animal. Only one picture matches every word. Check number, animal, and time of day.
