Kindergarten Screening Tools - Self Portrait

Area Tested: Self Portrait

Self portrait - your child is asked to draw a self-portrait and we use a rubric to score the drawing. (I wish I had that rubric, just curious!)

Activities to strengthen drawing:

1. This one is about the materials you provide. Provide an array of colors, lots of paper, and a mirror too! It's much easier to draw a self-portrait after you've studied your features in a mirror.

2. Sing body parts songs & play body part location games

3. Study pictures of others, expressing appreciation for differences

4. Small manipulatives to strengthen hand muscles

5. Positive self-image
