Description
Our opinions and reasons worksheet helps second graders learn a key part of opinion writing: an opinion is only as strong as the reasons behind it. Children read short opinions about favorite folktales and decide which reason really supports each one. Then they share an opinion of their own and back it up with two reasons.
About This Worksheet
In the first section, students read four opinions about well-known folktales, such as The Three Little Pigs, The Little Red Hen, and The Tortoise and the Hare. Each opinion has two possible reasons. One reason explains the opinion, and the other is a true detail that does not support it. Students fill in the bubble next to the reason that fits best. In the second section, children pick the folktale they like best, write their opinion on the first line, and add two reasons that tell why. A friendly picture of the third pig’s brick house adds a fun visual link to the first question.
What’s Included
- One page with four “choose the best reason” questions
- A writing section for one opinion and two supporting reasons
- An answer key with the correct reasons and sample responses
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It teaches children the difference between a reason that supports an opinion and a detail that does not.
- It connects opinion writing to familiar folktales, so kids can focus on their thinking instead of the story.
- It gives students a simple opinion-plus-two-reasons frame they can use in longer writing pieces.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read one or two of the folktales aloud before handing out this opinion worksheet for 2nd grade. After students finish, invite them to share their opinions with a partner and explain their reasons out loud. You can also ask children to turn their answers from the writing section into a short paragraph with an opening sentence and a closing sentence. This opinions and reasons worksheet also works well as a quick check during a writing unit or as homework practice.
