What children learn in Level 46
- Some texts tell stories. Others teach us real facts. A text that teaches facts is called informational.
- Every informational text has a main topic: the one thing it is mostly about. What is this text mostly about?
- Sea turtles! Almost every sentence tells about sea turtles. That's the main topic.
- The facts that tell more about the main topic are called details. Sea turtles have flippers. They lay eggs in the sand.
- Your turn! Sort the details. Do they tell about owls, or honeybees?
- Ask: what is this text mostly about? Then find the details that tell more.
