Artist Shares Love of Drawing with Cahill Students
So you ask what does drawing have to do with reading? Well in this case, students had to carefully read step-by-step directions La Peruta created for the demonstration. If they didn't SpongeBob's eyes might be located on his belt buckle instead of his head.
Reading to follow directions is an important skill. Young children often learn what to do by being told or shown. But teaching children to read to follow directions is also important to focus on, especially during these early years, so they are able to use this skill in day-to-day life when they are older.
