Retrieving and Recording Information – Non-Fiction (Year 3 / Year 4)

This KS2 English resource helps Year 3 and 4 pupils develop their ability to retrieve and record information from non-fiction texts. The resource includes a 33-slide editable PowerPoint and three differentiated worksheets with accompanying answer keys, making it ideal for introducing the skill or providing extra comprehension practise.

Pupils will learn the difference between fiction and non-fiction, how to efficiently scan texts for key information, and how to record their findings in complete sentences. Teachers can explore the example texts and use discussion prompts to support understanding before assigning the appropriate Bronze, Silver, or Gold worksheet.

• Bronze: Identify keywords and answer comprehension questions in full sentences.

• Silver: Similar to Bronze, with slightly more challenging questions.

• Gold: Complete comprehension questions using keywords and full sentences, with additional research using dictionaries or the internet.
