• Tell pupils that these are the covers of two books. One is a story and one is an information book. Read the title of each book. Point out the author’s name and talk about the illustrations. • Ask: What do you think each book will be about? Which will give us information? Which will tell us a story? Ask pupils why they think that. • Have pupils tell their partner which book they would like to read and why. • Look at a selection of books and ask pupils to help you decide whether they are stories or information books. Check inside the books to see if their predictions are correct. Identify the front cover, back cover and title page of each.
