What children learn in Level 62

A fact is something true that we can check. A cat has fur. That's a fact!
An opinion is what someone thinks or feels. Cats are the cutest animals. Someone else might think dogs are cuter!
Words like best, cutest, yummiest, and boring are clues that it's an opinion.
When you share an opinion, give a reason. I think dogs are the best pets, because they love to play!
Try it with a grown-up! Draw your favorite food, and tell why it's your favorite. That's an opinion with a reason!
