Help your second grade students identify the evidence behind the author’s purpose.

Help your second grade students identify the author’s purpose as they answer questions about a nonfiction text.

All authors write for a reason, be it to explain, entertain, or persuade their readers. In this activity, your students will consider the author’s purpose of a book of their choosing, then justify their answer.

Identifying the author’s purpose is as easy as P-I-E with the right mnemonic device!
