Imagine opening a book and seeing a big green dragon baking cupcakes!

Did someone make that up for fun, or is it something happening right outside your window?

Every book has a **text purpose**, which is the main reason an author created it.

A **story book** is made up from an author's imagination to entertain readers, share emotions, or tell an exciting tale.

It features **characters**—such as people, talking animals, or magical creatures—who face a problem or go on an adventure.

What if you want to learn what real lizards look like and what they eat for lunch?

The **text purpose** of an **information book** is to share true facts and teach the reader about the world.

Instead of make-believe characters, it explores **real topics** such as animal habitats, outer space, plants, or real people.

It often uses **real photographs**, realistic diagrams, and maps to show what the world actually looks like.

How can you tell which book you are holding in just two seconds?

The **Text Layout** of a story book uses sentences and paragraphs that follow a beginning, middle, and end.

Information books use **Special Features** such as bold headings, labels, and captions under pictures to organise facts.

Your **Reading Method** also changes. Story books are read from beginning to end to follow the sequence of events.

With an information book, you can open directly to a specific page or section to find facts without reading the entire book in order.

You can use **visual clues** to identify what kind of book you are holding.

Story books usually have drawn or painted illustrations, whereas information books rely on photographs, diagrams, and maps.

Notice the **text layout** and **special features** on the page.

Information books use bold headings, labels, and captions to organise facts, while stories follow a beginning, middle, and end.

Your **reading method** also changes: read a story from start to finish, or open an information book directly to the exact facts you need!

Identifying Differences Between Fiction and Non-Fiction Texts

Fiction vs. Nonfiction: Reading Comprehension and Book Types

What is the Difference Between Stories and Non-fiction Texts?

Teaching Foundation (Kindergarten / Prep) students to distinguish between story books and information books relies heavily on concrete, multi-sensory experiences. Teachers should use physical 'book walks', paired-text comparisons on the same subject (e.g., comparing 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' with a National Geographic Readers book on caterpillars), and physical sorting bins labeled 'Story / Entertain' and 'Information / Teach Facts'. Explicit modelling with high-interest book covers and giant magnifying glasses ('Book Detectives') engages young learners while reinforcing early metalanguage (photograph vs. illustration, pretend vs. real fact).
