Teach Students How Different Texts Work with This Persuasive Texts Pack

This resource pack includes a poster, a letter, and two advertisements, supporting the curriculum focus on identifying purpose and audience in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts.

Advertisements are familiar and fun for students — they see them on TV, online and in shops. Using ads in the classroom helps students notice how pictures, words and layout work together to persuade a target audience. This pack includes two simple, fictional advertisements designed just for kids, along with easy‑to‑use worksheets. 

A letter to the editor from a newspaper and a community poster provides different types of persuasive texts for your 2nd Grade students to explore.

Ways to Use This Persuasive Text Activity Pack in Grade 2

• Modelled reading: Think aloud as you show students how an advertisement works.
• Shared analysis: Highlight features together as a class.
• Learning stations: Place each persuasive text at a station for small‑group exploration.

Each activity helps students see that different texts have different features and purposes, and that writers choose language to suit what they want the reader to think, feel or do.
