Information Report Text Example for Kids

This Information Report poster has been written and created by a teacher to assist in the classroom when learning about this text type and the typical structure of this text. Providing students with an annotated example of the text type they are learning about not only provides a concrete example but also serves as a visual reminder during the whole Information Report teaching unit.

Annotated Information Reports provide invaluable support for classroom instruction, offering teachers a versatile resource to enhance their teaching of narrative writing. Whether used as a teaching tool during whole-class instruction, as a reference guide for small group work, or as a visual aid for individual student practise, our information report text poster serves as a versatile resource that can be integrated seamlessly into lesson plans. By providing students with a clear example of the information report text type and its components, teachers can scaffold their instruction effectively, guiding students through the process of analysing, writing, and revising their own information reports. This targeted support helps students develop a deeper understanding of information report writing concepts and empowers them to apply their knowledge with confidence.
