Art Night Flyer
About This Worksheet
Art Night Flyer teaches students to identify author’s purpose in a real-world informational and persuasive text format. The flyer invites students and families to attend a school event and provides details such as time, place, and activities. Students must determine whether the author’s purpose is to inform, entertain, or persuade. This worksheet connects classroom learning to everyday reading situations.
At the Grade 3 level, students should recognize that some texts serve more than one purpose. This flyer both informs readers about an event and encourages them to attend. Students learn to identify key features such as dates, times, and invitations. These clues help them determine the author’s intent.
The real-world format increases engagement and relevance. Students see how reading skills apply outside the classroom. This supports practical literacy development.
