5th Grade Author's Purpose Lesson Plans

On Education.com, teachers and parents can find a variety of 5th grade lesson plans focused on the author's purpose, along with printable worksheets, activities, and teaching strategies that help students identify whether an author’s goal is to inform, entertain, or persuade. These resources support middle-grade literacy instruction by providing practical ways for students to analyze and understand the intentions behind different texts.

The 5th grade author's purpose lesson plans guide students in recognizing the three main author’s purposes: to inform, to entertain, and to persuade. By exploring examples from fiction and nonfiction, children learn to identify clues in texts that reveal the author’s intent. These materials also encourage critical thinking, reinforce reading comprehension, and help students apply this understanding across subjects and reading assignments.

Educators and parents can use these resources to create engaging classroom lessons or at-home activities that develop students’ ability to analyze texts. Activities may include reading passages, writing exercises, group discussions, and interactive exercises that build confidence in literacy skills and promote thoughtful reading.
