About this worksheet

Sentences to sort into facts and opinions.

What kids practice

Second graders write three main kinds of pieces. A story tells what happens to characters, with a beginning, middle and end. An opinion piece tells what you think and gives reasons. A report teaches true facts about a topic. Each one starts with a plan.

Watch for

  • Stories that list events without a problem or ending.
  • Opinions with no reasons, or reasons that don't use because.
  • Reports that mix in opinions, like "Sharks are the coolest."

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full stories, opinions and reports guide for 2nd grade.
