2nd Grade Author's Purpose Resources

On Education.com, parents and teachers can find a variety of worksheets and activities to help 2nd graders understand and identify an author’s purpose. These resources include printable exercises, reading comprehension guides, and writing prompts to encourage young students to recognize when authors aim to entertain, inform, or persuade. This collection supports early reading and critical thinking development while making learning engaging and accessible.

Author's purpose refers to the reason why an author creates a text, whether to entertain, inform, or persuade. In 2nd grade, students learn to analyze stories and informational texts to understand the author’s intent, supporting ongoing literacy skills. These worksheets provide practice with detecting clues in the text and expressing ideas clearly through writing.

Parents and teachers can use these resources to reinforce classroom lessons, promote discussion about something students read or write, and build foundational skills in reading comprehension and writing. By exploring author’s purpose, students gain confidence in analyzing texts and expressing their own ideas effectively.
