Stories and facts.

Some writing tells a story. A story is made up. It can have a character in it, like a dog called Patch. Stories often start with Once upon a time.

Some writing gives facts. A fact is true, and you can check it. Fact texts tell us about the real world, such as animals, plants and the seaside.

Read the two texts in the box. Which one is a story? Which one is a fact?

STORYmade upFACTtrue, you can check
A story is made up. A fact is true, and you can check it.

Text 1

Once upon a time, a little dog called Patch went to the park. He found a red ball. He ran and ran. Patch was happy. The end.

Text 2

Dogs are animals. A dog has four legs and a tail. Many dogs have fur. Many dogs can swim.

Key ideas

  • A story is made up. It is not a true report of the real world.
  • A fact is true, and you can check it.
  • Stories often start with Once upon a time. Fact texts do not.
  • An animal in a sentence does not make it a fact or a story. Ask: is it true?
Worked example 10.1.1
Is this a story or a fact? A cow gives milk.

Key words. A fact is true, and you can check it.

Method. Read the sentence, then decide what kind of writing it is.

  1. Read the sentence. Think about what it tells us, or what it asks us to do.
    A cow gives milk.
  2. Decide what it is. It tells us something true about the real world. We can check it.
    fact
  3. Write the answer.
    Fact

Check. Read it again and check the answer makes sense. ✓

Watch out. An animal in a sentence does not make it a story. Ask: is it true, and can we check it?

Worked example 10.1.2
Is this a story or a fact? One day, a cow flew to the moon.

Key words. A story is made up. It is not a true report of the real world.

Method. Read the sentence, then decide what kind of writing it is.

  1. Read the sentence. Think about what it tells us, or what it asks us to do.
    One day, a cow flew to the moon.
  2. Decide what it is. It is part of a made-up story. It could not really happen like this.
    story
  3. Write the answer.
    Story

Check. Read it again and check the answer makes sense. ✓

Watch out. A story can have animals in it. Ask: is it true? A story is made up.

Worked example 10.1.3
Which sentence starts a story? A: Dogs have fur. B: Once upon a time, a fox lived in a wood.

Method. Look for the words that show a story is starting.

  1. Read sentence A. It tells us a true thing about dogs, which we can check.
    Dogs have fur. = fact
  2. Read sentence B. It starts with Once upon a time, which is how a story often starts.
    Once upon a time = story
  3. Write the answer. Sentence B is the one that starts a story.
    B

Check. Sentence A could be in a fact book. Sentence B could be the start of a story. ✓

Watch out. A sentence about dogs can be a fact. Look at how it starts, too.

Watch out

Watch out: a story can have animals and real places, such as the park. That does not make it a fact. Ask: is it true, and can I check it?

Exam tip

Grown-up tip. Read a storybook and a book about animals together. Ask: “Is this made up, or is it true?” Ask your child to find Once upon a time and The end in the story.

Titles and headings

Year 1
Use titles and headings to find information

Printable: Worksheet (PDF) · Answers (PDF) · Open this lesson on its own page

Video lesson: Titles and headingsComing soon
Titles and headings.

A title tells you what the whole text is about. It is usually at the top, in bigger writing.

A heading is a short line that tells you what one part of the text is about. Headings help you find the part you need, without reading every word.

Look at the hedgehog picture. Then read the hedgehog text in the box. Find the title first.

spines
A hedgehog has sharp spines on its back.

Hedgehogs

What hedgehogs eat
Hedgehogs eat worms, slugs and beetles. They look for food in gardens at night.

Where hedgehogs sleep
In the day, hedgehogs sleep in a nest of leaves. They come out at night.

Winter sleep
In winter, some hedgehogs sleep for a long time. This long sleep is called hibernation.

Spines
A hedgehog has sharp spines on its back. The spines keep it safe.

Key ideas

  • The title is at the top. It tells you what the whole text is about.
  • A heading tells you what one part is about.
  • Read the headings first, to find the part you need.
  • Headings are often in bold, or in bigger writing.
Worked example 10.2.1
A text about bees has these headings: What bees do, Where bees live and Bees and flowers. Which heading tells us about flowers?

Method. Read the list of headings. Find the one that matches the question.

  1. Read the headings. Look for the key word in the question.
    Bees and flowers
  2. Find the word flowers. The heading with flowers in it is about flowers.
    Bees and flowers = about flowers
  3. Write the answer.
    Bees and flowers

Check. Read the other headings. None of them is about flowers. ✓

Watch out. Read the whole heading, not only the first word.

Worked example 10.2.2
Which is the title of a text about owls: Owls or Night hunters?

Method. A title tells us about the whole text. Think about what the whole text is about.

  1. Read the two words. One is the title, and one is a heading.
    Owls   or   Night hunters
  2. Think about the whole text. The title is about the whole text. A heading is about one part.
    Whole text = Owls
  3. Write the answer. Night hunters is only one part, so it is a heading.
    Owls

Check. Owls is the name of the whole text. Night hunters is one part of it. ✓

Watch out. A heading is smaller than the title. It names one part.

Worked example 10.2.3
Which heading fits this sentence best? A hedgehog can roll into a ball. Headings: Food or Keeping safe?

Method. Think about what the sentence is about. Then choose the heading that fits it.

  1. Read the sentence. It tells us what a hedgehog can do when it is scared.
    A hedgehog can roll into a ball.
  2. Match it to a heading. Rolling into a ball keeps the hedgehog safe.
    Keeping safe fits. Food does not.
  3. Write the answer.
    Keeping safe

Check. Read the sentence and the heading together. They match. ✓

Watch out. Read the sentence, then choose the heading it fits best.

Watch out

Watch out: a heading is not the title. The title is the name of the whole text. A heading is the name of one part.

Exam tip

Grown-up tip. Look at a newspaper or a book about animals together. Ask: “What is the title?” Then ask: “Which heading tells us about food?” Your child can point to each one.

Exercise 10B  Titles and headings

1
FWhat is the title of the hedgehog text?
2
FWhich heading tells you what hedgehogs eat?
3
FWhich heading tells you about the long sleep in winter?

Labels and captions

Year 1
Read labels, captions and lists in a fact text

Printable: Worksheet (PDF) · Answers (PDF) · Open this lesson on its own page

Video lesson: Labels and captionsComing soon
Labels and captions.

A label is a word, or a short name, that tells you what one thing in a picture is called. A caption is a whole sentence under a picture. It tells you more about the picture.

Look at the seaside picture. Each number is on one part of the beach. Read the seaside text in the box, too.

12345
Look at the numbers. Each number is on one part of the beach. Word bank: sun, sea, sand, rock, crab.

At the seaside

The seaside is where the land meets the sea. The sea moves in and out, and waves roll onto the sand. On the sand you can find shells and pebbles. Some seaside places have rock pools. In a rock pool you can find crabs and tiny fish. Seagulls fly over the beach.

Key ideas

  • A label names one thing. It is a word, like crab.
  • A caption is a whole sentence. It tells us about the picture, like A crab is on the sand.
  • A caption starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.
  • Numbers in a picture show which part a label is for.
Worked example 10.3.1
Is Pebbles a label or a caption?

Key words. A label names one part of a picture. A caption is a sentence about the picture.

Method. Read the sentence, then decide what kind of writing it is.

  1. Read the sentence. Think about what it tells us, or what it asks us to do.
    Pebbles
  2. Decide what it is. It is one word or a short name, and it names one thing in the picture.
    label
  3. Write the answer.
    Label

Check. Read it again and check the answer makes sense. ✓

Watch out. A label is a word. A caption is a sentence. Count the words, and look for the full stop.

Worked example 10.3.2
Is The sand is warm and yellow. a label or a caption?

Key words. A label names one part of a picture. A caption is a sentence about the picture.

Method. Read the sentence, then decide what kind of writing it is.

  1. Read the sentence. Think about what it tells us, or what it asks us to do.
    The sand is warm and yellow.
  2. Decide what it is. It is a whole sentence, and it tells us about the picture.
    caption
  3. Write the answer.
    Caption

Check. Read it again and check the answer makes sense. ✓

Watch out. A label is a word. A caption is a sentence. Count the words, and look for the full stop.

Worked example 10.3.3
Which is the better caption for a picture of the sea? A: The sea is blue. B: I like cake.

Method. A caption tells us about the whole picture. Choose the sentence that is about the sea.

  1. Read both sentences. Does each one tell us about the sea?
    A: The sea is blue.   B: I like cake.
  2. Find the one about the sea. The sea is blue, so it tells us about the picture.
    The sea is blue.
  3. Write the letter. The caption about the sea is A.
    A

Check. Sentence B is about cake, not the sea, so it is not the caption. ✓

Watch out. A caption must be about the picture, not about something else you like.

Watch out

Watch out: a label is only a word or a short name. A caption is a whole sentence. Do not write a label as a sentence, and do not write a caption as one word.

Exam tip

Grown-up tip. Look at a picture in a book together. Ask: “What is this called?” (a label). Then ask: “What is happening here?” (a caption). Your child can say a whole sentence, and you can write it down.

Exercise 10C  Labels and captions

Lists and finding a fact.

A list puts things one under another, on separate lines. Each line starts with a dot called a bullet. A list makes facts easy to read, because each fact is on its own line.

To find a fact, read the question first. Then look in the text for the key words in the question, or words that mean the same thing.

SpringSummerAutumnWinter
The four seasons in the UK: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The four seasons in the UK

There are four seasons. They always come in this order:

  • Spring: March, April and May. Plants start to grow. Lambs are born on farms.
  • Summer: June, July and August. The days are long and warm.
  • Autumn: September, October and November. Leaves turn yellow and brown and fall from the trees.
  • Winter: December, January and February. The days are short and cold.

Key ideas

  • There are four seasons in the UK: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
  • The seasons always come in the same order.
