ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Using an animal of your choice, write  a title, general statement and create  a diagram for your information report. 

Remember, the general statement should be the most important  

information about your animal. What  is the first thing you would tell your  reader about your animal if they had  never heard of it before? 

Once you have completed it, make  sure to edit to make your writing even  better!
