All About Water Informative Writing

Read each fact out loud and ask your child whether it is true. Talk about the real thing first, such as a tree outside or an apple in the kitchen, then draw and trace. Check the page against the answer key together.

Kindergarten informative writing page about water. A grown-up reads the page aloud. Informative writing tells facts, things that are true. The directions on the page read: Draw water. Then, trace the word to finish each sentence. The answer key gives a marking guide and a model answer, since answers will vary.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten writing, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with informative writing. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

CCSS W.K.2 asks kindergartners to name what they are writing about and supply some information about it, using drawing, dictating and writing. On these sheets a child draws the topic, traces its name and traces or chooses a true fact.

A fact is something that is true, like dogs have four legs. An opinion tells what you think, like dogs are the best. These pages ask for facts, so ask your child, "Is that true, or is that what you think?"

A grown-up reads the page aloud, and the facts are short, with the key word traced by the child. Children match the word to the picture, which builds reading and writing together.

Yes. All 10 sheets have a key with a marking guide and a model drawing. Because children draw their own pictures, the key shows what a correct fact and a complete drawing look like.

Kindergartners practice opinion, informative and narrative writing through drawing, dictating and writing (CCSS W.K.1 to W.K.3), along with forming letters and starting a sentence with a capital. These pages keep the writing small: a child traces a word, draws a picture and a grown-up reads the directions aloud.

Start with the opinion pages, where a child picks a favorite and traces its name. Move to the narrative pages, which add first, next and last, then the informative All About pages and the writing process pages. Capital letters and writing practice pages can be mixed in at any point.

Yes. The new sheets are built around tracing and drawing, so a child can finish them before writing a sentence alone. Ask your child to say the sentence out loud while you point to each word.

Yes. All 36 new opinion, narrative, informative and writing process sheets have a one page answer key with a marking guide and a model drawing.
