Imaginative vs Informative Texts – Teaching Slides
Support your early readers as they learn to recognise whether a text is imaginative or informative. These teaching slides break down the key features of each text type using simple, student‑friendly language perfect for Foundation learners.
Students explore how imaginative texts use characters, settings, feelings and creativity, while informative texts focus on real facts, clear explanations, and helpful information. Each slide models how to spot these features so students can confidently identify the purpose of a text.
How to Teach Text Types to Young Students
Help students understand that imaginative texts are like stepping into a story world, while informative texts are like learning something new from a real‑life expert. The slides guide students through clear, child‑friendly comparisons that highlight the purpose, structure, and language of each text type.
With guided modelling and repeated examples, young readers build confidence, curiosity, and early comprehension skills.
