A Diagram with Labels

Goal: Draw an object and write labels connected clearly to its parts.

For parents: A diagram is a drawing that helps explain something. Choose a familiar object with two or three visible parts, such as a bag. A label names a part; a line shows which part it belongs to. Share unfamiliar spellings and accept sound-based attempts. Two labels are enough.

Do together

  1. Choose the useful parts

    You need: A familiar bag, paper and a pencil

    Look at a bag together. Choose two visible parts, such as a strap and a pocket. Draw the bag with room around it for words. Your child points to each part and says what the reader needs to recognise.

  2. Write and connect

    You need: The drawing and a pencil

    Say the first label together. Your child writes sounds they know; you help with the rest. Add a line from the label to the correct part. Write a second label on another side so the lines are easy to follow.

  3. Let a reader check

    You need: The labelled drawing

    Show the diagram to someone at home. Ask them to follow each line and point to the named part. Your child can read labels with help. If a line or word is unclear, make one useful change together.

Talk about it

  • Which parts will help our reader?
  • Where should this label line end?
  • Could we make one label clearer?
