π Topic Summary
Combining information from text and illustrations means using both the words you read and the pictures you see to understand something better. Sometimes, the text tells you one thing, and the picture shows you another thing that helps you understand the text even more! It's like having two clues instead of one, making it easier to solve the puzzle of what's happening in the story or article.
For example, if the text says, "The dog barked loudly," and the picture shows a small, fluffy dog wagging its tail, you can combine that information to understand that even though the dog is small and friendly-looking, it can still make a loud bark. Using both the words and the picture gives you a clearer idea.
