3-2-1 Informational Text Response

Don’t just read nonfiction—learn from and engage with it in this graphic organizer! Students will fill in the topic of the nonfiction text they read and complete each section of the chart. They’ll write three things they learned from the text, two questions they still have, and one thing they think is interesting. 

This worksheet is a great activity to get second and third graders to thoughtfully engage with nonfiction texts. Students will need to reflect on what they understood and learned about their topic. They’ll also have the chance to ask questions about things they didn’t understand and things they want to learn more about. This practice develops students’ abilities to summarize and reflect on a text, making them more intentional, curious researchers.
