A fact can be checked. An opinion is what someone thinks or feels. Sometimes you can’t tell yet!
| Sentence | Fact | Opinion | Can’t tell |
|---|---|---|---|

Why it matters: Telling facts from opinions helps kids read and listen more carefully, and argue more fairly.
Extend it: Listen to an advert together and find one fact and one opinion.
