Free English Track Level D Sheet 5 | Year 3 | BookFlik
Welcome to your latest BookFlik learning resource. This week, we are focusing on identifying why an author chooses to write a particular text. In our English Track Level D Sheet 5 — Author’s purpose: inform, entertain, or persuade?, children will explore the three main reasons writers put pen to paper.
This sheet is a vital part of our progression. Having mastered basic sentence structure and simple retrieval in earlier levels, your child is now ready to look deeper at the ‘why’ behind the words. By analysing different short texts, they will learn to distinguish between facts meant to inform, stories crafted to entertain, and arguments designed to persuade.
English Track Level D Sheet 5 — Author’s purpose: inform, entertain, or persuade? helps your child think like a writer. After completing these activities, they will be able to confidently identify an author’s intent, which is a key skill for reading comprehension in Year 3. Whether they are reading a news report or a fable, they will understand the author’s goal. We hope your child enjoys working through these challenges with the help of our friend Pip the bookworm, who is always ready to celebrate their progress in reading and understanding.
