Exploring Information Reports in the Early Grades

Support your Year 2 students as they begin to build confidence in reading and writing information reports. At this stage, students benefit from explicit modelling and guided exploration of how texts are structured and why they are written in particular ways.

This resource helps early learners to:

• Develop an understanding of the purpose of information reports
• Recognize how information is organized into clear sections
• Identify simple language features such as present tense and factual statements
• Build vocabulary through exposure to topic-specific and technical words
• Begin making connections between what they read and how they can write

By engaging with clear, accessible exemplars and completing guided worksheets, students are supported in moving from observation to application—giving them the foundation they need to confidently create their own information reports.
