Identifying the Author and the Illustrator Worksheet – 1st Grade
About This Product
Identifying the Author and the Illustrator Worksheet helps first grade learners practice author’s purpose with clear directions and a clean, kid-friendly layout. Print it and it is ready for class, homework, or homeschool lessons.
Learning objective: Students will review author’s purpose, practice it in context, and show what they know in a way that is easy for the teacher to check.
Why it works: Each page targets one skill, so students get meaningful repetition without feeling overwhelmed. The layout is clean and uncluttered, which helps young learners focus on the task instead of the decorations.
What's included:
1 printable worksheet page
Clear, student-friendly directions
Answer key (1 page)

How to use it: Assign it after a mini-lesson, use it in a small group, send it home as homework, keep it in your sub folder, or use it as a quick formative check.
Answer key: An answer key is included, so you can check work quickly or let students self-correct.
