When we are reading, we can use clues from both the text and the pictures to help us to understand what we are reading.
For example, let's have a think about this question:
'Where do these penguins live?'
Have a look at the clues in the picture before choosing one of these answers:
1) In the wild
2) In an aquarium
What did you go for? Looking at the picture, we can see that the penguins are behind glass and that there are children watching them. This tells us that they are more likely to live in an aquarium than out in the wild.
