About this worksheet
Fact and opinion work helps children separate what a text proves from what someone thinks or feels. Second graders may call a sentence a fact because they agree with it, or call a fact an opinion because it sounds surprising. A fact can be checked in the text or in the world. An opinion tells a belief, preference, or judgment. This worksheet uses passage sentences so students practice the distinction in context, not as isolated sayings. They choose facts, identify opinions, and explain which sentence could be checked. Encourage your child to ask, Can someone prove this, or could people reasonably disagree? That question usually reveals the answer. This language helps students defend the label instead of guessing from belief.
What your child will learn
Tell facts from opinions
Find checkable evidence in a passage
Recognize preference words
Avoid choosing by personal agreement
Worked example
'The bean leaves drooped' is a fact from the passage. 'The garden is prettiest' is an opinion because people can disagree.
Common mistake
Calling a sentence a fact only because it sounds believable.
Helpful hint
A fact can be checked. An opinion tells what someone thinks.
