Opinion Writing: Answer a Reader Question
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: anticipating and answering a simple question about an opinion
1
Write one opinion sentence.
2
Imagine a reader asks: Why?
3
Write one answer to that question.
4
Imagine a reader asks: What do you mean?
5
Add one detail that answers the second question.
6
Read your writing to an adult acting as the reader.
- Play the reader role with friendly, specific questions rather than challenging the child's opinion.
- Ask only about the writing, not about private experiences or family choices.
- Celebrate an answer that adds information even if it needs spelling support.
