Kindergarten Write a Fact I Know worksheets

About this worksheet

A fact is something that is true. Writing a fact is the first step of informative writing, and it starts with a child looking at something and saying one true thing about it. On this page every item is a picture, such as a frog or a cow, with two lines beside it, and the child writes one fact about the animal. The facts can be small: it hops, it has four legs, it lives on a farm.

There is no choice to make, so every child can write something true. Ask what the animal does, what it eats and where it lives, and let the child pick one. Then read the fact back together: is it true? Does it start with a capital letter and end with a period? Facts can be checked against a book or a real animal, which opinions cannot.

What your child will learn

• Say something true about a picture
• Write a fact as a whole sentence
• Tell a fact from something made up
• Use a capital letter and a period
