Description
How to Teach Comparing Informational Texts
This Comparing Informational Picture Storybooks Worksheet helps 1st grade students see how two nonfiction books about the same topic can share some facts and still teach different things. When young readers compare two informational texts, they slow down, notice details, and think about which book an idea came from. This comparing informational picture storybooks worksheet turns that thinking into a short, clear task.
About This Worksheet
Students read two short picture books about strawberries. One book tells how a strawberry plant grows, from white flowers to green berries to red berries close to the ground. The other book tells how to pick strawberries, put them in a basket, and wash them before eating. Each book has its own colored-pencil picture. Then students read five statements and fill in a bubble to show whether the fact is in book 1, book 2, or both books. Use it for guided reading, a literacy center, partner work, or homework.
What’s Included
- Two short strawberry books written at a 1st grade reading level
- A picture beside each book
- Five fill-in-the-bubble compare and contrast items
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
It gives beginning readers practice finding the same fact in two texts, which is the heart of comparing. It builds the habit of going back to the text to check an answer instead of guessing. It also keeps the sentences short and simple so students can focus on the thinking skill, and the third bubble for both books makes the idea of a similarity easy to see.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the two books aloud first, then let students reread them on their own. After they finish, draw a simple Venn diagram and sort the five facts together. You can also pair this 1st grade compare two informational texts worksheet with two library books about the same plant or animal, and ask students to name one fact both books share.
