About this worksheet

An informative paragraph begins with a topic sentence that names the main idea, and then the facts teach the reader something about it. A fact is something true that can be checked, such as Bees make honey. It is different from an opinion, such as Bees are the best insect. This worksheet prints three topic sentences, one at a time, and the child writes two facts that fit each one.

The facts should be different from each other and should be true and about the topic. The child writes whole sentences with a capital letter and a period. A tip at the top reminds the child that a fact teaches something. Ask your child to read the topic sentence and then each fact aloud: does the fact tell more about the topic, and could someone check that it is true?
