How to use this sheet

  • Bring a few real books or texts to the sheet: a storybook, a cookbook, a poem, a newspaper page.
  • Have the child give a clue from the text for each answer: talking animals, facts, rhymes, headings.
  • Ask what the text is for: to tell a story, to give facts, to persuade or to entertain.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking every book with pictures is fiction. Nonfiction books have pictures too.
  • Mixing up a biography, written by someone else, and an autobiography, written by the person.
  • Thinking an advertisement just gives information. It is written to sell or persuade.
