How to Use This Pack

Five pages about one animal. Page 1 is the plan: the topic (This is about), three numbered facts each with a box to draw, and an ending (Now you know). Page 2 sorts facts into three columns, It can, It has and It is. Page 3 is a big box to draw the animal with short rows beside it for labels. Page 4 writes the facts as sentences. Page 5 is where the animal lives and what it eats.

In the Classroom

Read a short nonfiction book or watch a short video about one animal, then fill in page 2 together as a class. Children then pick their own animal for the plan and the sentences. Labels are a good warm-up: model drawing a line from a label to the part it names.

At Home

Look at pictures of your child's favorite animal and talk about what it can do, what it has and what it is like. Then let them draw and label it.

Tips for Success

  • Tell the reader your topic first
  • Each fact is something true
  • Draw to show each fact
  • Label the parts you know
  • End with Now you know
